"FAMILY- It is the backbone of this faith based community. MCC is a place where academic excellence is taught hand in hand with the core values of the Catholic faith. Classes are small with personalized attention for each student. It is a stellar educational environment that cultivates a firm foundation for continued success in further education. The teachers, faculty, and coaches truly care for their students and go above and beyond to bring out the best in them. The student body is active in the community, striving to give back and making the world a better place. The values that are important to my family at home are reflected in the curriculum and mission at Melbourne Central Catholic. We are so blessed to belong to the MCC family."
