Athletics
We are Warriors! McAuley Catholic High School is a member of Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) and is in the Ozark 7 Conference. Competing in sports from elementary school through middle school and into high school is one way that our system helps to shape children and young adults into well-rounded adults. Playing on a sports team has positive physical, social and emotional benefits. Students who participate in athletics strengthen their sense of respect, accomplishments, character, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Students in our system have a greater opportunity to play varsity-level sports from freshman to senior year. Student athletes have won 36 district championships. The system Athletic Director is Mike Howard.
