I am a fan of WC, however I think that a nun that is an older woman should not be in charge of the children. From falsely breathalyzing students to touching them on the shoulders, they should change who is in charge. However I love all the retreats west has to offer and the amazing students.

Choosing West Catholic was the best decision I could have possibly made, not only have I excelled in academics but I have been apart of a great theatre and choir program. I am involved in almost every aspect of the school and with the help of the teachers and staff I am pushing my self to be the best version of myself I can be. I feel ready for college and am ready to take on the world. I am happy to be part of such a wonderful community.

I wasn't raised Catholic. I attended public school. I am not from Grand Rapids and we don't live on the westside. We tried to get to know the local public high school and they reacted in disbelief that we might have questions and might want to meet a teacher or two. Then we called West Catholic. Wha...
