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.

coming from a large public school, this was a really nice change. however, despite their claims of being inclusive to non catholics, you are required to take a theology course each year which is more of a bible study class rather than actual theology. other than this i do really enjoy the teachers and academics, it's just the students that are the worst part

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

I'm a graduate of LCHS. I was proud and privileged to be a student there. It was a rock, a great source of strength for me not only academically but spiritually and emotionally as well for the high school years were challenging die to my situation at home.
