The interesting life at an all-girls Catholic high school
Beyond The Beacon
What is it like to attend an all-girls Catholic high school? Two seniors and two sophomores attending Mary Help of Christians Academy in North Haledon share an inside look at attending the Salesian-run all-girl Catholic high school, which has strengthened their faith lives and allowed them to focus on academic excellence away from the pressures many students face today. Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney and Cecile Pagliarulo lead the conversation, which was recorded on location at the school’s production studio.
