What makes Monsignor Scanlan High School stand out among other high schools?
This is our “Top Ten” List of reasons why you should attend Msgr. Scanlan High School:
1) We offer a solid foundation in academics, while offering teacher-help and student-help for students who need it.
2) Many of our faculty members themselves graduated from our school and have now returned to “carry on the Scanlan tradition.
3) Our students remark on the good rapport they have with their teachers. They challenge them to reach their full potential and are ready to help.
4) There is something at Scanlan for everyone—sports, of course, for those who are interested, but also such activities as Choir, Student Council, Health & Wellness, Yearbook, School Newspaper, and Cultural Awarness, participation in service programs to help the needy, and many others. There is something for everyone so that every student can be involved. We are dedicated to educating well-rounded individuals who are prepared for success.
5) We have a program for every student according to his or her ability. We challenge each of our students to excell to reach his or her highest potential. We work with each individual and will find the proper program for him or her. In addition, we offer a math tutoring program, SPIN, which takes place every morning before school and every afternoon after school. We also challenge our students to take Advanced Placement courses and gain college credit. Whatever your ability, you will find a place in Scanlan.
6) We are a school that is small enough for teachers and students to know one another well. In Scanlan, you will always be a person - not a number.
7) We are within easy distance from most points in the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens. The Q44 and QBX1 bus lines stop on our corner.
8) We are in a safe area, really an “island” in a commercial district. We also are neighbors with the New York City Police Department who have offices on our property.
9) We have a beautiful 17 acre campus, with new baseball and softball fields and a newly-installed, fully equipped weight room.
10) We boast of being a school where God is praised, loved and adored; where His Holy Name is honored; where our students are taught to serve others in His Name; where the sacraments are celebrated and students who wish to prepare for the sacraments are assisted to do so; where prayer is part of the normal routine of Scanlan life; and where Christian values are emphasized. We are a Catholic school, in the full sense of the word Catholic—open to all in Christ’s name.
