The culture at Routt feels like a large family and Routt is a steadfast pillar in the community. Alumni tend to be enthusiastic life-long supporters of RCHS. That speaks volumes about the student experience here. It changes you. Routt students engage in a faith-based education that emphasizes service to others because true personal growth happens at the intersection of faith, learning, health and service. It's what sets Routt apart.

The experience at Routt Catholic is very good for academics. There isn't much fun held here because it is a primarily academic school that's why it is a private school not a public school.

My time at Routt has been the best experience I have ever had when it comes to schools. Everyone is nice and there is not a lot of drama. There is also zero bullying and if there is even a hint of it the teachers put a stop to it. There are a lot of sports and clubs avaliable for the students. I personally do not play any sports but I have been in art club, book club, and scholastic bowl. In each club I always had a lot of fun. The classes also are a nice challenge but not so hard it's hard to finish your work.

My entire family went to Routt as did my grandchildren. Routt offers a very comprehensive college prep curriculum. All of my children and grandchildren pursued higher education post HS and have done well in their chosen careers.
