My daughter has been at Saint Agnes the last eight years. She is now in Jr High and was absolutely prepared for the more rigorous course schedule. I also feel that she will be prepared for high school. The teachers work together to build a curriculum that will prepare our children for college and life in general.

I absolutely love Saint Agnes, I have been there since my freshman year in High School, although I came in the middle of the semester, everyone made me feel so welcome the day I stepped foot inside the door. I feel like I have grown so much as a human being and I don't have anything bad to say about my school.

As an alumna of St Agnes Academy, I have had many career opportunities due to the ample preparation I received in high school. Most often (particularly in Memphis), employers at most interested in where you went to high school. Graduates of St Agnes are well prepared for the challenges of any 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.
