As a freshman, and the school was on a downfall, it is great to see it rise again in enrollment, faith, and athletics. Watch for the sports!

I love Bishop McNamara because they really do prepare you for college and they push their students to be the best.

I liked how all of the teachers were very involved, and knew you on a personal level. All of the teachers always made sure to ask how my day has gone, how my weekend was, and they always ask about how extra curricular/sports went during the week which just shows that they really care. There isn't anything that I would really like to see change about Mac. I believe McNamara is a very loving and welcoming school that is truly different from a public high school.
