I like the academic opportunities St. Teresa High School offers me. I also appreciate the wide variety of clubs to get the students involved within their High School. I wish to see more classes provided for students to have the choice to learn from.

St. Teresa was like any other high school. We all experienced the good and bad days. One thing I would change about St. Teresa, would be the diversity. The school is lacking in diversity which may have others feel a certain type of way.

Racist, unnecessary strict rules, and do not trust the students. Not really a "good" school, but had a great memory. Parents ruled the school. One of my coaches got fired because of a student's mother's complaint. She wanted her son to have some field time, the coach refused. Every year, the school made students "sell" the school calendar by making them pay for it. $30 x 5. My sister and I had to pay the school $1200 total. Tuition is rediculous, food is terrifyingly expensive. They bought Mcdonalds every monday and sold it to the students for almost triple the price.
