Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School

What Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School does

Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School is a private, nonprofit Catholic high school located in Marine City, Michigan, founded in 1977 and operating under the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Detroit as one of three vicariate high schools in the state. The institution serves a co-educational student body of all faiths in a Christ-centered environment, drawing primarily from families across the Blue Water Vicariate parishes. It delivers a college-preparatory curriculum with AP, honors, and dual-enrollment options, a 16:1 student-teacher ratio, and a broad extracurricular portfolio including 15+ athletic programs, a nationally award-winning visual arts program (Scholastic Art Awards), FIRST Robotics (Team 4779), National Honor Society, Student Council, and Campus Ministry. Operational technology is entirely commodity education-software: Edlio for web/CMS, PowerSchool for student information, Google Workspace, FACTS for tuition, Meal Magic for food accounts, X2VOL for service-hour tracking, GiveCampus for fundraising, and Chartwells for food service.

The school's revenue model combines tuition ($11,750 per student for 2026-2027) with structured financial assistance, supplemented by donations (annual Challenge Drive raised $90,888 of a $115,000 goal in 2025 with 330 supporters), SCRIP gift card proceeds, an annual Mooney Madness raffle ($25/ticket with $5,000 top prize), a 36th annual golf outing, and food service revenue. The school is 100% financially self-supporting with no subsidy from religious orders or parishes, and has established an endowment at the St. Clair Community Foundation for long-term sustainability. Go-to-market is a direct-to-consumer admissions motion led by Director of Admissions Mike McAndrews, leveraging the parish referral network, Open House events, virtual campus tours, "Cardinal For A Day" shadow experiences, and the SchoolAdmin online portal. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors chaired by Richard Kolcz, with Fr. John Dumas serving ex-officio; day-to-day leadership is provided by Principal Jennifer Stachelski (since August 2022) and a small administrative team of approximately 19 staff, supported by long-tenured faculty.
