Four reasons to select bishop miege 1. We’re not the most expensive. Because of strong parish financial support, Miege is able to provide the high quality Catholic education you’re looking for without an exorbitant price tag. In addition, through scholarships and financial aid programs, Miege does its part to help parents with their tuition obligations. 2. We’re not the biggest. With enrollment in the 700s, Miege is small enough to provide personal attention to students and better opportunities to participate, but large enough to be able to offer a large variety of activities and academic choices. 3. We’re not the most exclusive. While some schools pride themselves on being exclusive, Miege prides itself on being inclusive. As an archdiocesan school, our mission is to include and serve students and families of different income levels, backgrounds, ethnicities and ability levels. This inclusion of a mix of families provides our students valuable preparation to meet the challenges of an ever-shrinking world. 4. We’re simply the best. 4 BISHOP MIEGE HIGH SCHOOL A c AD EMICS RE Achieving Academic excellence COLLEGE AD INESS Faculty Facts Advanced placement be obtained at Johnson county top-notch programs community college and benedictine 71 percent of miege faculty possess students may earn college credit by For 13 of the past 15 years, the Debate SPIRITU a master’s degree or higher.
