Mother Caroline Academy is a school just for girls. Here at MCA everyone is united and we know each other very well. MCA is located at Blue Hill Avenue which is in Dorchester and Dorchester is in Boston MA. MCA is a very small school with the maximum of 15 students in each grade, 5th through 8th. The president of MCA is Mr. Ed Hudner, the co-principals are Ms. Michelle Albert and Ms. Betty Brown and our registrar is Ms. Karen Ricketts. Here at MCA the teachers, principals, registrar, and president all have big expectations for us girls. The reasons they have big expectations for us is that they really care about our future and that we get into a good high school and college and that our dreams come true. MCA is a school that has high hopes for their students. Ms. Michelle Albert shared one of her hopes with me. This is what she said: “My hopes for you girls is that you be anything you set your mind to and that you all are happy, successful, humble, intelligent and powerful women”.
Interesting Facts
- Some of the teachers that worked here came to school here
- This is the school’s 19th year
- Some of the teachers that work here at MCA also live here, there is an apartment on the 4th floor
Something else is that they are adding a fourth grade to our school. When they add the 4th grade the school will be a little bit bigger. MCA is a school with a lot of projects. One of the projects is Hugs for Heroes. Hugs for Heroes is an organization put together and people, schools or just anyone can donate. The reason why this program was set up was because many of the Marine Corps didn’t get anything on mail day so someone brilliant came up with that idea so our school are always writing cards and mailing them to the Marine Corps. Something really exciting that happened was that Lt. Nick Francona came and talked to us. It was a really big pleasure to meet him and he is just a wonderful person.
