Mary Help of Christians Academy

MHCAThe Salesian Sisters established Mary Help of Christians Academy (MHCA) in 1940 with one mission in mind - to educate children, particularly those who are at-risk. Around 80% of MHCA's students come from Paterson, NJ, one of the poorest cities on the United States.

86% of MHCA’s students come from a low-income, mostly under-served minority population. That's a staggering number, but here's an impressive statistic for you - over 96% of those who graduate from MHCA go on to college! How do we do it? Four words – We're Challenged To Excel!

With our rigorous academic curriculum, these young women are learning skills that will spell a difference in their future. This, in turn, will enable them to take an active role in society through honest citizenship and a life-long commitment to faith, leadership, and service. To find out more about MHCA, visit their website at www.maryhelp.org
