For the third straight year, Mount St. Mary Academy has been selected as the top private high school in the area in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s annual “Best of the Best Readers’ Choice Awards” competition. The honor was announced in a special section of the newspaper published on October 20, 2024.
“Winning the Best of the Best is no small feat – it’s a testament to your hard work and reflects the impact you’ve made on our community,” a representative for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette said in an email to the school. “Huge congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!”
This marks the sixth time in three years the school has been voted the #1 best! In addition to thrice winning the Best Private High School category in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s contest, Mount St. Mary Academy was also named the Best Private High School winner in Little Rock Soirée’s “Soirée Recommends 2024,” AY Magazine’s “Best of 2023” and Arkansas Times’ “Best of Arkansas 2022” readers' polls.
