I had a great time I was able to meet new people, new teachers and get the readiness I needed. The school Was definitely like a brotherhood.

The thing that made me like Leo was the brotherhood. My school was small so you knew everyone there. What changed Leo was the New principal, he came in with the mindset of winning and making sure we had all the tools needed for the world today. With my high school being "All boys " I was a bit hesitant bit after a few days I wasn't even thinking about anything because we was having fun with each other learning new things.

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!

my son is a freshman this year and loves it. He is 1 of 3 Hispanics there and gets along with all the young men there. I love it because its small compared to the public school he came from. 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...
