Being a senior at St. Peter's Prep I can say that it was the best decision I've ever made to come here. Instead of staying at my public school in Weehawken, I decided to follow in my brother's footsteps and come here. I can say proudly that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The bonds that you form with your peers here can last a lifetime and you will always be connected to Prep for the rest of your life after coming here. The alumni network is expansive and I can say for certain that this school prepares students incredibly well in making decisions that come after High School.

It's an amazing 4 year school where the possibilities are endless. There are so many clubs and sports to choose from that anyone could fit in. The brotherhood is also unmatched and you will have so many friends by the time you leave.

Rewarding is the best word to summarize my time at Saint Peters. Following in my father's footsteps and growing into a man similar to him is an honor, as he is, and has always been, my role model.
