A message from our principal, Mrs. Laura Cecil...
Mary Carrico Catholic School
Processing video...
Many people in the Knottsville area may know me due to the fact that I used to work at MCCS. What some may not know is that prior to that my two girls attended MCCS. A decision I have never regretted. From the family like atmosphere to the personal attention given to each student's personal needs. It is a wonderful faith-based school. Plus, I am more than proud to say that my children are now well-educated professionals. One is managing 3 stores and the other a speech pathologist!
