The MHRS 5th & 6th-grade multi-age classroom is a place where children develop leadership skills and strong study habits. Individual students are encouraged to excel in all that they learn and receive group instruction, individual assistance, and small group learning.
Students pray together daily and learn more about their faith through daily Catholic instruction, Sacraments, Bible lessons, Mass participation, and weekly Mass. We focus on developing a closer relationship with Christ that will last for the rest of their life.
