I started going to Messmer during quarantine and while I was nervous I connected really well with the people. When in-person was allowed I loved the difference in my old school and Messmer's curriculum.

Messmer is pretty good. The academics are very rigorous, but challenging in a good way. The teachers are good, they help whenever possible, and truly want to see you succeed.

I have been going to Messmer Catholic Schools since I was 4 years old. It has changed me a lot over the years. It has helped me to adapt to new environments and molded me to be a more empathetic person. There has been so many opportunites for me to experience things I would have never been able to at a public school. In addition, I believe this school provided me with a solid, challenging education that will get me ready for the next level.
