We are so happy to be a part of the MHCA family. My daughter just began her freshman school year and is so thrilled with the school and her teachers. She says she "has finally found her home away from home". There are many things for her to be involved with and it is an overall nurturing and loving environment for her to learn and grow in. So happy we found Mary Help!
