Maur Hill–Mount Academy(MH-MA) is a coed Catholic, college prep, boarding high school in Atchison, Kansas. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas and sponsored by the St. Benedict's Abbey (monastery) and Mount St. Scholastica (convent) in Atchison, KS. The school became Maur Hill–Mount Academy with the merger of the two long established schools. Maur Hill Prep School (1919) was an all-boys school and Mount St. Scholastica Academy (1863), an all-girls school.

Maur Hill - Mount Academy is a Benedictine school with a Raven mascot representing Benedictine symbolism. It is also affiliated with Benedictine College (BC) in Atchison Kansas.

Boarding students attend from many states across the US and approximately 50 of the boarding students are international students.

History

The Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica began educating girls in 1863 in Atchison, KS. The college section of their school merged in 1971 with their counterpart in Atchison, St. Benedict's College which was an all-boys college. The high school girls continued their education on the Mount's campus as Mount St. Scholastica Academy. St. Benedict's and Mount St. Scholastica's college sections eventually merged to form the present-day Benedictine College. The Benedictine Monks began educating boys in 1858 in Atchison, KS. In 1919 the monks obtained additional property in Atchison and moved the younger boys to the new campus. It was originally St. Benedict's Maur Hill and later Maur Hill. In 2003, Maur Hill and Mount St. Scholastica Academy unified their school's strengths and merged into Maur Hill–Mount Academy.

House System

The school separates the student body into four (4) diverse and evenly represented groups of the school community, and each group is known as a “House”. The Houses are named after St. Sebastian, St. George, St. Gabriel, and Mother Teresa.

The House system is student-led and exists to strengthen the school community and provide leadership opportunities. Community service, activities, and student government are a part of the House System. Faculty advisers are assigned to each House and ensure a student's personal, academic, and spiritual growth is being supported. Each House breakdowns into smaller groups called a “Family” in which students are assigned a teacher adviser . Each “Family” will meet with their teacher adviser three (3) times a week.

The Houses compete against one another in intellectual, athletic, artistic, and other competitions. A point scoring system is in place for individual student and House points. Weekly and monthly House winners have special privileges or awards, with a House Cup and special trip awarded to the winning House at the end for the school year.
