Why Mullen

"I learned that the only person I have to be is myself. I learned that there are more important things in life than...being the best. I no longer wanted to be known as just a smart guy; I wanted to be a good guy too. I learned that I'm a part of a bigger community, bigger than myself. ...In the beginning, it was me. Now, it is us."

"I truly believe that my daughter grew the way she did because she was planted in the right place. I completely agree that you cannot put Mullen into words...it is something you feel, and that something just feeds your soul and it was the perfect place for her (and so many others) to just figure herself out and to flourish. We are so grateful."

"It was not a guarantee that I would go to Mullen four years ago due to financial constraints. But through the generosity and selflessness of donors I was able to attend Mullen and instantly feel at home. Without those donations I would have gone to a public school that simply would not have provided what I have experienced at Mullen. I know that the collegiate experience that awaits me will be one I can handle based on what I have learned as a student here.My ecclesiastic and relational success is also because of my time as a Mustang. The thoughtful donors that made it possible for me to have this experience have inspired me to one day give back and make the same difference in a child’s life similar to what has been afforded to me."

"Mullen is a special place. There aren’t many places where everyone around you challenges you to be better. I have been challenged to be a better person, student, athlete, Catholic, leader, listener, and most of all a better man. My brothers are graduates; so you could say that Mullen is very important to me and my family. Mullen has prepared me to move on in my life and make a difference. Without the people at Mullen, I wouldn’t be half the person I am today, and I am very thankful for those who give allowing me to be part of the Mullen community.

"Mullen is a special place, my daughter is getting an amazing education, the community is genuine and caring!"
