The school is tense and has a lot of small groups, I'm not fond of how closed off it can be. It's not horrible and the academic opportunities are vast.

It has a very rigorous curriculum and the grading scale requires much more studying than the average school. It is a great community of people and everyone is very supportive, including the staff. Everyone can get involved because of the variety of clubs, athletics, and theatre opportunities.

I feel proud to be a student at O'Gorman. I feel like the family environment that has been created here is like no other, and I trust the faculty to get me to where I need to be. My grandfather recently lost his battle with cancer, but the students and staff have been nothing but supportive and comforting as I cope. I can say with my full heart, I love O'Gornan High School.
