McAuley Catholic High School

The McAuley faculty encourages students to be independent thinkers who look at each aspect of life with a critical, creative and faithful eye. We emphasize a Christ-like atmosphere and with small class sizes, students have the opportunity to excel in athletics by playing varsity-level sports. Students have the opportunity to enhance their love of the arts with show choir and theatre as well as increase their knowledge in business by participating in Future Business Leaders of America. We also offer Edgenuity online classes for students to take classes that may not fit into their current schedule. This allows for students to take advanced or AP classes to prepare for college, and offers courses that students may take that are geared toward their career choice. We offer a biomedical science course in partnership with Mercy Hospital Joplin to add a hands-on learning experience for students. The course is hands on and unlike the typical classroom settings. The activities and projects introduce students to human physiology, basic biology, medicine, and research processes while allowing students to design their own experiments to solve problems.
