“What I have learned in my education at Our Lady of Lourdes and Melbourne Central Catholic High School will stay with me for a lifetime. Not only was I challenged to succeed in a stimulating academic environment, but I was also inspired to grow spiritually. I discovered the importance of compassion, responsibility, and independent thinking. Catholic schools have provided me with a complete education – one that has encouraged my mental, spiritual, and physical development."

"Having attended a Catholic school for my entire schooling life, I have been blessed with many opportunities that are not granted to every individual. Not only did I develop a fire for my faith through extensive education, but I also learned the very traits of being a responsible, well-mannered citizen through discipline and examples from others. I was mentored through my schooling with compassionate teachers and a healthy and positive learning environment that gave me the ability to explore in safe parameters. It is an experience I wouldn’t give up for the world and I will most definitely be sending my children to Catholic school."

“MCC instilled in me values and habits that have greatly contributed to my success in college and now medical school. The importance of hard work, discipline, and friendship are principles I will carry with me throughout the remainder of my education and into my future career.”

“The education that I received at Ascension and Melbourne Central Catholic High School has given me a solid, well-rounded foundation to pursue my goal of attending an Ivy League university. Both schools provided me with challenging academics and enrichment opportunities. The schools also allowed me to grow in my faith and to develop a strong moral character which will benefit me for the rest of my life. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to attend these Catholic schools that have allowed me to reach my full potential.”
