I believe that sports and sports involvement at St. Agnes could have been greatly improved. I played basketball and majority of the games more parents were there than students. Sometimes no students would even show up at all. I brought my concerns to the Athletic Director and that's how the Athletic Council got started. I wish we could have done more and I wish I would have had more people who had a passion for sports as much as I did apart of the group.

Coming from a past student at Saint Agnes Academy (high school), and a recent college graduate, SAA is an excellent college preparatory school. I felt very prepared and capable in my classes when I began college.

St. Agnes Academy/St. Dominic School is a family community. Everyday when I drive onto the campus, I feel a sense of peace & know that my children are where they are supposed to be.
