WHO WE ARE
Catholic Education has been a strong tradition in Muskegon for over a century. The mission of offering a Christ-centered education for children began in 1871 when three members of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Order established the first parochial school at St. Mary’s Parish. Their shared vision, which has thrived for more than 130 years, continues as Muskegon Catholic Central educates young men and women with Christ as the focus and role model.
Muskegon Catholic Central is ranked #1 Best Private High School, Best Catholic High School & Best Private K-12 School in the Grand Rapids Area!

Prospective students and their families are invited to visit our school to experience life as a future Crusader student at Muskegon Catholic Central.
The Muskegon Catholic Central school system is an independent, Catholic school, offering a faith-filled, college-preparatory education to students from Preschool through 12th grade. The atmosphere is Christ-centered and life-giving. Our academic program, using the MAP process, is designed to nurture and challenge each individual student. 98% of Muskegon Catholic graduates continue to higher education.
Muskegon Catholic Central offers a curriculum that is both rigorous and meaningful. Teachers can work together regularly in professional learning communities to discuss and develop research-based teaching strategies for implementation in the classroom. Due to the school's small size and opportunities for collaboration among educators, Muskegon Catholic Central can make effective changes to meet both the needs of students and the academic demands mandated by state standards.
Muskegon Catholic Central offers a variety of curricular and extra-curricular arts programs, including Symphonic Band, Choir, Musical Theatre, and Art. Extra-curricular activities play an essential role for most of our high school students. Because of our small size, every student can participate in a team, play in the band, or take part in our famous annual musical. Extra-curricular activities provide excellent opportunities to build leadership, teamwork, and self-confidence in each student. Every student finds a place to shine at MCC.
