Passionate teachers & staff coupled with a strong academic culture & positive environment. Three of my children have attended and one is currently attending. My three oldest (top 10% at UT-Austin & an athlete at Florida Southern, the third going to Texas Tech with a small scholarship who also received a four year modest academic scholarship at Antonian High School) credit their early path to academic & social success to Mount. We need more schools like Mount. It is a small price to pay in helping shape your child's developing academic, leadership. And empathy skills.
