Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School

Bishop McGuinness is a school like no other. With rigorous classes that prepare all of its students for college, this school is academically strong in all subjects. As a student, I am challenged every day to work hard in order to succeed. Thankfully, I will be able to bring this same mindset to college while others will not have the same discipline instilled in them at the beginning of their Freshman year. Bishop has many other aspects as well. For one, our athletic program is very strong with teams competing at high standards in one of the toughest conferences in all of 1A sports in North Carolina. The sense of community at Bishop is also very strong. Opportunities to volunteer as well as engage in various hobbies are abundant at our school. This plethora of options is apparent during "Club Day", an every other week event where students can visit and participate in a number of organizations. Without a doubt, Bishop McGuinness is truly a diverse and enjoyable school.

Academic, spiritual, and unique--these are just a few of the words that describe Bishop McGuinness. As a current Junior, I am proud to say that I have had a great high school experience thus far. The best part of the school is the teachers. They know us all on a first-name basis and understand our schedules with extracurriculars. They work with us to make sure that we understand the material and pass the class with flying colors. Not to mention that the classes to a great job in preparing us for college. The social environment at the school is also second to none. Students here get the opportunity to make friends with all kinds of people. The vast opportunities in clubs, sports, and the arts also provide us with a way to express ourselves to the best of our ability. It is the perfect place to try something new and build character. Finally, the spiritual life of the school is very beneficial to the students. We receive an in-depth understanding of the Catholic faith through our religion classes. In addition, we participate in a number of service opportunities that help with community development. These service efforts also help us develop our personalities and strive to serve others. If you want a student to get the best out of the high school experience, send them to Bishop McGuinness.

My experience as a villain has so far been one of the greatest years of my life. As a freshman here I have been able to be involved in the school community. The community here is very kind and loving and everyone cares for each other. The education you are able to get here is amazing, as a smaller school every teacher is able to get one on one time with you if you need it. I really enjoy being a part of the Bishop family.
