"We have been able to put together one of the strongest teaching staffs in my career here at Marquette Catholic. 70% of our teachers have a Master's Degree or better. It has paid off for our students and their 100% college acceptance rate. Our focus now is to bring this kind of thinking to our athletic programs." Although the press and public often consider change in staff a challenge, I look at it as opportunity." Mis' presents us with an opportunity to be the best by developing our already competitive and growing soccer program."
