Accreditation

We Give Something 更多的 Than We Take

Character and Service are at the core of the McDonogh experience. 

McDonogh teachers and coaches were at the heart of my transformation, and they prepared me exceptionally well for the “good life,” which I define as taking care of yourself physically, 精神上, and spiritually; investing in loving relationships with others; and serving a cause greater than yourself.
