Why students and parents think you should choose Bishop McNamara!

“Starting college is one of the most intimidating experiences in a
person's life. Bishop Mac truly prepared me to be ready to face the
challenges of starting college with an open mind and an open heart.”
- Molly Tutt, Class of 2007, current sophomore at St. Mary’s College

“Our experience with the McNamara families and faculty is awesome!  Everyone is friendly, outgoing and welcoming.  Our children have met so many new friends while maintaining friendships with their friends from grade school.  The “Big Brothers and Sisters” helped our children ease into high school.”
- Dan & Mary Burczak
Parents of Keith, Class of 2008, Kaitlyn, Class of 2009 and Dan, Class of 2010

“Upper classmen are friendly and welcoming, teachers treat us with respect; it’s easy to see they want what’s best for us.”  
 -Katherine Hoekstra, Class of 2009

   “Attending Bishop McNamara has become the greatest decision I have made. Mac has instilled in me knowledge and morals that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. By challenging me academically and spiritually Mac helped me to reach goals and dreams that, at first, seemed unattainable. The Mac faculty and staff helped me every step of the way. Their concern for each and every student makes them more like family than anything.  These people exemplify what Mac is all about: family. The McNamara family is truly an incredible thing. The memories and experiences I had at Mac will go with me wherever life takes me.”
-Gene Storer, Class of 2008

“The academic program has brought out the best in both of my children.  The personal attention is there and the student-ratio is small.  I know Bishop McNamara is a big monetary commitment, but what it has meant to my children is worth the price.  Both of my children qualified for more college scholarship money than I paid for their four years of tuition at Bishop McNamara.  I call that a good value!”
-Jeff Chiero, father of
Brandon Chiero. Class of 2005, currently enrolled at Marquette University
& Briann Chiero, Class of 2006, currently enrolled at Purdue University

“I’m glad I have a school full of people that I can share my faith with.  I feel safe and secure here, I am comfortable being myself.
 -Angela Williams, Class of 2010

“Bishop McNamara High School has a great reputation with colleges and universities.  My college coaches and academic advisors confirmed what I already believed; it was because I attended Bishop McNamara that I had the opportunity to select from some of the best Universities in the country.  Bishop McNamara equals opportunity.” 
-Kurt Belisle, Bishop McNamara Class of 1994, University of Notre Dame Class of 1998

“This is them best decision my wife and I ever made. Expectations are high scholastically and our children are well prepared for college. Class sizes are smaller and I do not have to worry about my children just being a number run thru the system. The teachers and administration care and are able to give more attention to each student in all aspects of their high school career; mentally, physically and more importantly spiritually. There is nothing better than sharing prayer or Mass together at Bishop Mac with my children and the entire school.”
-Patrick Martin, Class of 1978
father of Marissa Martin, Class of 2007 and Moira Martin, Class of 2010

“When I came for the placement test, they mentioned the McNamara Family.  I had no clue what they meant until I started school here.  I can honestly say that I felt that family atmosphere from the moment I walked in the door.”
 - Jessica Clodi, Class of 2011

“The teenagers that attend Bishop McNamara know that when you go here, you become a family.  As a family, together we grow spiritually, morally and intellectually.  As I move into the future and look back, I know I will never regret my high school choice.  I also know that I will always be a welcome part of the McNamara family.”
- Ryan Nugent, Class of 2006, currently enrolled at Purdue University

“At Mac, there is a well rounded, firm foundation of support and education.  As parents we know that our first obligation is to be the teachers of faith to our children. The Bishop McNamara Family is our partner in this endeavor.”
 -Deacon Pat Skelly, staff member and parent of Claire Skelly, Class of 2011
