I've been at Leo high school sense my freshman year and it's been a very good school. You get to make some friends down the road and also form bonds with not only your friends but your teachers as well. Leo is known for it's sport department and that's where most of the students attend Leo for so if sports are your primary I would highly recommend Leo as the school for you.

Leo has a been a family school for my brothers and I, Like every School, they have their flaws, but I was always a Honor student. The way leo prepared me, I knew that I was ready for college. I now have a 3.0 GPA, and I play football, and I am a treasure of The BSU.

My two sons attend Leo.The school has a computer lab with no computers. No access to computers to help with papers/assignments. Some of the staff & instructors are not giving 100% and last, my 17 wants to transfer out to a public school after attending 3yrs @ Leo for all of the above reasons.

My son graduated from Leo in 2011 and continues to thrive well into his college years because of the great teachings from Leo H.S. The teachers are amazing. The males are great role models and are truly invested in the lives of these young men!

The teachers and coaches care about my son, he gets tutoring when he needs it and the teachers keep us update...

My dad, Joe Prendergast, who was born in 1920, graduated from St. Leo's High School in the late 30's. He turned out to be a wonderful guy! Everyday he woke up he was thankful for the day! A very good worker and father of 12. He was proud and happy to have been a student there! Peace to All. Pat Pren...
