Holy Cross - Cross and Anchor in gold

"We chose Bishop McNamara for our daughters because we wanted to ensure that they would spend the next 4 years in a place that fosters a spirit of excellence and service while also cultivating their minds and hearts."

Mrs. Courtney Ben
Parent of Kennedy '25 & Karington '27

Holy Cross - Cross and Anchor in gold

"From the point I stepped through the doors, I felt a strong sense of community, pride, and shared values of family, belonging, and acceptance at BMHS. I experienced excitement from my interactions with students, faculty, and the administration. However, the most important reason why I chose BMHS was the belief and confidence I felt that my daughter would be protected, nurtured, and challenged to achieve what she once believed were her 'impossibles'."

Mrs. Renita Bridges
Parent of Madison '26
