I really loved my time at Rosary High School. We referred to the community as a sisterhood, and that is truly what it was for me. I made so many friends that I remain close to in college and will continue to do so in the future. I felt supported by my friends and my teachers, and I knew that I had people I could reach out to if I ever had a problem. My time at Rosary also strengthened my faith and helped me to grow in my relationship with God. I would say my worst experience there was freshman year when we had to social distance because of the pandemic, and that was only because it made it harder to get to know my classmates better.

Rosary High School was a great overall experience. I loved the small environment and how easy it was to get involved. I was able to play all the sports I wanted, and no one was cut from any of the teams. In these sports I made my best friends. The teachers were also so helpful with everything the students needed. There were also some bad parts of going to a small, all girls school. As you would expect, there was a lot of drama with it being all girls. Even with this, it was easy to stay out of the drama if you wanted to.

I went to Rosary High School for one year of my high school career, and it was one of my hardest years. At the time that I attended there was not a very good community and academics were not as good as they could be. My hope for future students was that no one else went through this experience and the school improved these faults in the future. I have heard great reviews of Rosary High School in the past few years, and I truly believe that they have reached a turning point, and are improving these issues which brings me joy to hear.

Rosary High School is a fantastic high school dedicated to empowering young women. With its first lay head of school starting in 2019, Rosary is moving in a positive direction where other schools seem to falter. They have updated their science labs, curriculum, programs, added lacrosse, and continue...

Of all the treasures we can have in life, one is worth more than almost any other. There’s a priceless beauty in the faith-filled heart of a daughter. I’m grateful to the Dominican Sisters and the faculty of Rosary for helping to impart in my daughter the wisdom to stay true to God’s voice, to walk...

The past year at Rosary, under new leadership, the school has gone in a negative direction and sadly we can no longer recommend it.

Our daughter is a sophomore and we couldn't be happier with Rosary. We are confident she will be well prepared for college both academically and characterwise.
