Most Holy Redeemer Catholic School was founded in 1886 as St. Agnes School to provide a Catholic education for students in the Montgomery and surrounding areas.
In 1913 it was renamed St. Raphael and finally changed to Most Holy Redeemer in 1950 to match the parish name.
Through a nurturing environment in a multiage setting, our small class sizes challenge students academically while leading young hearts to Christ.
MHRS students score in the top 70-90% of the nation when compared to students their age by 8th grade graduation.
Our students remain active in the parish life long after leaving MHRS. We invite you to join our school family to see the difference we make at MHRS.
