Welcome to the McNicholas Rocket family!
Our Mission
To inspire young men and women through faith formation and academic excellence to become compassionate leaders and grow toward Full Stature in Christ.
In Chapter 4 of St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul encourages Christ’s followers “to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the Body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to the extent of the full stature of Christ.” At McNicholas, this is our ultimate purpose and foundation—literally carved into our cornerstone—to grow toward Full Stature in Christ.
Faith
Formation
Our students develop an ability to see the world through a Catholic lens and understand that faith is the gift which precedes ALL.
Academic Excellence
Our students are prepared to go forth in the world by a rigorous academic program that is customized to their individual gifts, talents, and interests.
Compassionate Leadership
Our students strive to live a life in service to others, to work for justice, and to be compassionate leaders in their homes, careers, vocations, and communities.

It is with great joy and gratitude to God, on behalf of the Board of Limited Jurisdiction and the Presidential Search Committee, to welcome Mr. Robert Noll, III as the incoming president of Archbishop McNicholas High School
McNick is an excellent academic school with Christian ethics where our daughter has grown not only her intelligence but also her spirituality. McNick has given her so many opportunities to grow into a confident, informed and faith-filled young lady. I cannot image a better experience to prepare her for what lies ahead.
Duane, Parent of the Class of '21
McNick has taught me and my peers that selflessness, compassion, and empathy play such an important role in our lives, and we want to take what we have learned here and make an impact on other people.Claire, Class of '21
