What do you love about MMC? The Students! MMC students are so inspiring; each student has such a unique story, is so ambitious, and works hard to make Marymount great. I am proud to be a Marymount Griffin and have the privilege to serve and support our great students!
Best memory at MMC: So far, the MMC President’s Cup Volleyball Game. It was so much and the students did an awesome job playing and cheering. I loved the school spirit!
