Cathedral high school was an amazing experience for me I transferred there my sophomore year. During COVID that first year it was difficult to meet people because I was online but that next year I made friends I'll never forget the school is small but allows it to feel like a community. The teachers and administrators make it feel comfortable and truly care about the kids more than the money. There was moments that it was difficult because it did feel like the school it's self was disorganized. Sometimes it feels like the school it's self cares more about discipline than the kids mental health. They are so quick to notice a kid out of uniform than if they kid is mentally okay. Not all teachers and administrators but some. Some of the teachers and the other student make it fun to go to school though.

It was a good experience. I have a family that will forever be apart of my life. They pushed and inspired me to be a better version of myself which then helped me proceed to college. The only thing is that there were only a few AP classes and I wanted to challenge myself more.
