The key to having the best education here is by taking honors or higher level classes. Getting involved in school activities is also extremely important to the social aspect at Mary Help. There is a lot of opportunity to start a club or sports team if it is not already offered.

My time at Mary Help of Christians Academy has been very pleasant as well as formative. The faculty expresses genuine interest and support towards their student and the low student-to-teacher ratio makes it possible to form friendly relationships with the teachers as every single one knows you by name. The performing arts department has significantly grown over the past few years and I predict it will continue to expand and mature into a strong and outstanding program. The greatest criticism I would give would be the old facilities and the lack of staff to support the influx of bigger classes in the incoming years.
