Mission & Vision

McGill-Toolen Catholic High School provides a college preparatory secondary education that enables individuals to grow in faith, to search for knowledge and truth in mind, body, and spirit, and continue building the kingdom of God on earth.  We strive to be the best in the area of academic excellence, the best in the physical development of the body, and the most important, that which is our primary reason for existence, the spiritual development of the soul. By active involvement in the learning process, students are prepared for lives of Christian leadership and service.   We continue to champion Scientia Pro Amore Dei-knowledge for the love of God.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”  Philippians 4:13
At McGill-Toolen Catholic, we form the whole student: spiritually, academically, and physically.
