I love McDonogh! I'm currently in seventh grade, and everything here is just so fun and exciting. None of the classes are boring, and I never feel stressed about the amount of work given to me. We also have this thing called Academy for two weeks at the end of the year, and it is SO fun!

I am a past parent - 15 years at McDonogh - of two recent graduates - 2021, and 2024. Their growth in the classroom and out of the classroom was monumental. Whether they were designing a mini golf course in computational physics, providing live play-by-play commentary for the Varsity football games, building and racing cardboard boats with their classmates, or competing in national high school sports events for their team, they were challenged, nurtured, and having fun! Both boys made life-long friends, expanded their vision for service to their communities, and developed much love and respect for their teachers and their school.
