Mount St. Michael Academy

With Mary as our model and St. Marcellin Champagnat as our guide, Mount St.
Michael Academy, established and conducted by the Marist Brothers, educates young men of diverse backgrounds in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church to become academically prepared through the foundation of a challenging, college-preparatory curriculum in a well-disciplined and safe environment, while developing a moral commitment to the service of others.
