During my time here I faced racism and bullying and was spoken to in a passive aggressive and condescending way by teachers. I was called Aunt Jemima by a group of students and had slurs said to me during mass. Racism and bullying is a huge issue here that is not being brought up enough and brushed to the side by teachers and the administration.

My overall experience as a student was terrific the school truly taught me to be a better person and understand different situations in life. I would recommend the school for families that want their child to have a very strong setting in education and sports.

Best education in West Michigan-- the science and math programs are second to none in the area, and programs such as the Engineering Class and Independent Research Program give motivated students a leg up both in college admissions and their futures. The school consistently ranks highly, if not at t...
