School Notes
Leading the Way
One of the goals of Morris Catholic is to teach each student
how to recognize his or her own potential for leadership through
academics, Catholic identity, service, athletics or the arts. Here
are the pillars of leadership that distinguish Morris Catholic as
the place where leadership comes to life:
Catholic Identity
As a Catholic school with the Diocese of Paterson, Morris
Catholic integrates the Catholic faith tradition into all all
aspects of student life. As a Catholic school, we welcome
those students who may not have been raised in the Catholic faith
and at the same time, we strive to model and promote the Gospel of
Jesus Christ as it has been passed on through the Tradition of the
Roman Catholic Church. The Sisters of Christian Charity have taught
at MCHS since its founding in 1957 and their convent was converted
(in 2015) into Assumption College for Sisters. We are also staffed
with two priests, our President and Chaplain. Along with the
entire faculty and staff, our President, Fr. Peter Clarke and
Principal, Mr. Robert Loia, ensure that the school`s Catholic
identity is strong and vibrant.
Faculty & Staff

students, and we seek to provide its students with the best. Morris
Catholic employs a well-qualified team of nearly 50 devoted
teachers and administrators, 70% of whom possess advanced degrees,

respect, and warmth. Visitors often comment on their feeling
welcomed and comfortable in our school. This sense of welcome and
acceptance, coupled with a healthy awareness of order, make MCHS an
ideal placement for the college-prep high school
student.
