Talley's Corner

I'm a mother of a freshman now and an aunt of a senior and I am very disappointed at her experience thus far. I'm anxious for the year-end for her to transfer out. They have no control over the students. My daughter comes home with things that a 15 year old just shouldn't be talking about. Unfortunatly, some of those teachers are the same teachers that have been there for 30+ years. My neice is having a difficult time with the college counselor there. She is very biased and only gives girls scholarships that are from her "neighborhood." She also gossips a ton about students and their families with other teachers/staff. The fact that she is a nervous nelly and can't form sentences is a joke because she is a counselor! McAuley prides themselves on all the clubs and activities. Well my daughter is still waiting for a teacher to call a meeting for a club she joined back in Sept. They NEVER follow through! Forget about joining a sport. Unless you are affiliated with a certain club team your not making the team! If you do make the team good luck having playing time. I am taking my daughter out of there and putting her at a school where she happy and worry-free and not grow- up too fast!

The teacher review is RIGHT on the money! Hence McAuley WAKING up and getting rid of the BIG PROBLEM at McAuley! They finally are getting rid of that clueless President! It is going to take YEARS to fix what that horrible woman destroyed! The essence of what McAuley used to be back in the day is GONE! There is no Catholic identity and making employees spend their time framing hundreds of photos of Catherine McAuley isn't going to make the girls more dedicated to their religion. It is just wasting the hard-working parents money. Hopefully within the next couple of years this school will get its act together, McAuley admin why don't you do your job and clean house! When you have teachers that tell students things that adults go to jail for there is a problem! Just ask around town how Spirit Week went????? Never in the history of McAuley have they canceled Spirit Week. They would rather cancel it then do their jobs and get control over their student body! Good luck McAuley!
