Great school! MSHS is among the "happy" place for my kids. My wife and I had always assumed we would send our children to the local public school. When my oldest told us she wanted to go to MSHS my wife and I did our homework and discovered what a treasure this place is. If you are Catholic, this is your obvious choice. If you are another Christian denomination, MSHS welcomes you. If you are secular you should check out how amazing the education here is for all subjects!
