Great school. Loved it when I was attending. Mass everyday, great teachers, seminar style classes, great community. Loved the small class size, I felt very connected with my classmates. The senior thesis talks were by far the best part. Only real issues were with the A/C units sometimes breaking in the gym, I just wish those had been solved a bit faster. But otherwise, I have no complaints.

Overall, my experience over the past 5 years at this school have been amazing. The classical education allows for me to dive into deeper and more profound questions than I would have been able to at any public school.

The small classes allow for a much greater among the students and between students and teachers. I am very thankful that I got to attend this amazing school.

I cherish the gift of education because of the value I see in it here.

We have been at Donahue Academy through a changeover of three principals, and I think that this year there is a renewed enthusiasm for the school and its vision. The board hired a young "interim" principal, Mr. Jahnke, who is actually doing a fabulous job, with the help of Mr. Tyler Graham. At the h...
