}}Mount St. Mary Academy is a private, Roman Catholic, all-girls high school, serving grades 9 through 12, in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. It is an all-female institution, and has an all-male brother school, Catholic High School for Boys. It is located within the Diocese of Little Rock. Having been founded in 1851, it is the oldest high school in Arkansas.[1]

History

Mount St. Mary Academy was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1851 at Seventh and Louisiana Streets in downtown Little Rock. The school moved to the present Hillcrest location in 1908 after outgrowing her Louisiana Street location. The {{convert|10|acre|m2|sing=on}} site was purchased with funds from the sale of the downtown property and contributions from local residents and landowners.[2]

In 2012, Karen Flake succeeded Sr. Deborah Troillett, RSM '73, who served as president of Mount St. Mary Academy from 1997–2011.[3]

Academic Departments also hold membership in educational professional organizations such as the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the American Counseling Association, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and the College Board. Mount St. Mary is accredited by the Arkansas Non-public Accreditation Association and has been accredited by AdvancED (formerly North Central Association) since 1930.[4]
