Over halfway to its goal of 40 students, Father McGivney Catholic High School is coming to life! With increasing enrollment numbers, impressive faculty and staff hires, a beautifully remodeled facility, and secured financial support, Father McGivney Catholic High School will welcome its first class this fall.

A couple times a month, McGivney is hosting Griffin Nights for next year’s freshman class. All area eighth graders who are interested in McGivney are welcome to join other future freshmen for games, movies, music, service projects – just a chance to visit and hang out. Volunteers and faculty members will plan activities twice a month from 7 - 9 pm at McGivney (142 Wilma Drive, Maryville). The next Griffin Nights will be Monday, April 30th and Tuesday, May 22nd.


Nothing matters more to the success of Father McGivney Catholic High School than the students. While it will provide an all-American high school experience, McGivney is not your typical high school.

You will start your day in your "House" - a cross-section of students from different classes with different interests. If you're an underclassman, you automatically have friends/mentors from the older classes to guide you through your studies, struggles, and successes. You will enjoy friendly competition with the other Houses for achievements in service, leadership, and academics.

Technology playing a big part in a newly-built modern facility, McGivney students will most likely use a laptop in most classes and carry few, if any, text books. In lieu of a traditional library, McGivney will have a technology/research center where there will be space for independent or group projects. Whether you prefer socializing or quiet study time, the Student Lounge will accommodate your needs.

Always available to students - for daily morning prayer service before school starts or quiet prayer throughout the day - is a beautiful chapel that McGivney and SJN share. The McGivney motto - Serving the Culture of Life - will be practiced within every discipline of study and activity at McGivney. You can look forward to serving your parish, community, country, and world with the knowledge and spiritual strength that sets you apart as a McGivney student.

Griffin pride would be nothing without its athletes and fans. You can look forward to sports and activities for all interests at McGivney. As one of the first classes to pave the way on the fields and courts, as well as in the hallways, you will have the opportunity to form the traditions, lead the teams, and set the records in whatever you do. Go Griffins!
