Overall Lancaster Catholic was exactly what I needed. Teachers weren't regularly involved but I enjoyed that because it gave you a sense of independence. I was involved in 27 clubs and each one offered a different experience, however there were clubs I wished they had, but it was difficult to create them due to teachers not wanting to watch over the clubs.

Lancaster catholic has a good schooling program in their hands, they push you hard to get the best grades, help you achieve in your sport, art, and music career, and allow you to get in touch with your faith. As an alumina, I did face quite a few obstacles that have shaped me into who I am today. Many of which included some racial motives and some teachers not handling it the best. it was really hard for me as I was transferring from public to private school I didn't know a lot of people and it seemed like I was the oddball out. As I started to get into athletics it was a challenge to prove myself as the other girls had the money to get them to where they were at as for me I had my church group, to say the less if you had money or was really good that was the only way you were getting playing time. Many things I hope to see change at catholic my time there wasn't bad but personally I think there could have been a better option for me to succeed in my classes and feel more welcomed

One of the most horrific educational institutions anyone could ever send their children to. A pure fad to indoctrinate Catholicism into children's minds.
