The TurningPoint Campaign Addresses Critical Needs

In this competitive world, campus atmosphere, extracurricular opportunities and other school amenities are often deciding factors when parents choose where their children will attend high school.

A culmination of many different listening sessions and surveys resulted in the realization Archbishop McNicholas High School has a vital need to expand and update school facilities.
