Summer Reading List
McAuley Summer Reading Requirements
Catherine McAuley High School recognizes that one of the most important things you can do for yourself in your years of high school and beyond is to read. It has been proven over and over that the best way to prepare oneself for tests such as the PSAT and SAT is to read widely. It has also been found that students who read become better writers.
Required Community Read for All Students & Staff:
In addition to specific summer reading assignments, ALL STUDENTS and staff are required to read a non-fiction community read. Past works have included Packaging Girlhood by Lyn Mikel Brown and Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculee Ilibagiza. The community assignment for the 2011-2012 academic year is Teens With the Courage to Give: Young People Who Triumphed Over Tragedy and Volunteered to Make a Difference by Jackie Waldman.
The Community Read should be completed by Tuesday, September 6. There will be a guest speaker in the fall, as well as a community project that coincides with the guest speaker and the book. More information will be given in September.
