The adminstration is very dated with the entire operation of the school. We are in an age of technology and young people wanting to take initiative for their lives, much if the staff do not like that and will punish students for the smallest things.

one of the more difficult parts was the pressure of maintaining high academic expectations while balancing extracurriculars. At times, it felt overwhelming. I also think Seton could benefit from offering more mental health resources and creating more open conversations around student well-being. What I'd like to see change is more diversity in course offerings and activities to better reflect students' interests and future career paths. Overall, Seton has shaped me into a more focused individual

About 3 years ago, our daughter visited and shadowed at multiple outstanding Catholic High Schools in the Archdiocese of Washington and Baltimore. She chose Elizabeth Seton over all of them. The reason was very simple: the people. The faculty, students, staff and coaches warmly and sincerely welcome...
