About: Founded in 1873, and the longest continuously running
non-public school in the State of Alabama, Montgomery Catho-
lic Preparatory School is a regional K4-12 college preparatory
school whose Catholic mission calls us to an inclusive admission
process. Serving the Catholic parishes of the Montgomery metro
area in the Archdiocese of Mobile, we welcome students of all
faiths to apply to our program.
We recognize that God has given each student gifts and that
it is our responsibility to nurture them. We are proud to serve
students of all academic skill levels and help them reach their
God-given potential. In partnership with parents and teachers,
we strive to develop the students’ unique talents so that they may
graduate ready for a college education. At Montgomery Catholic,
the adult community is committed to the success of each student
and the education of the whole child.
We have three distinct programs: elementary campuses at St.
Bede and Holy Spirit (K4 - 6), a Middle School (7-8) and a High
School (9-12). All campuses of Montgomery Catholic Prep-
aratory School are accredited by AdvancEd.
Montgomery Catholic students work hard in the classroom, play
hard on the field, participate in extracurriculars, and are active
members of the River Region community. No matter which
setting Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School students are in,
they are ambassadors of our school. They have respect for them-
selves, their classmates, their teachers, and their families. Our
students utilize their time at MCPS to prepare themselves for the
next stage in their lives.The Montgomery Catholic students are
well prepared to handle the challenges that may come their way.
