For Summer 2026, there is no required summer reading for any level, class, or department at McT.
Students are encouraged to spend time with family and friends, volunteer or work, read for pleasure, and of course, attend Mass! Upperclassmen, use this time to study for the ACT, visit colleges, and begin college applications.
There are many opportunities to engage with arts and literature available in Mobile this summer. Check out these sites below for more information:
