I really like all the traditions, the teachers and the friends I've made. It's been a great place for me and it's been great being in school every day during COVID.

My daughter started in 8th grade and is thriving both academically and socially. Now in 10th grade, I believe the school is preparing her well for college. She participates in sports and student government. She's getting a well-rounded experience in a safe environment. The faith-based environment adds a valuable dimension to her education. Best investment we could have made in our daughter.
