O'Gorman was a great experience overall because of the environment and people you meet there. There is a strong sense of community at this HighSchool and the academics are very good as well. They overall push you to try harder and be a better person. Most of the people looking after you there will try and make sure you are going on a good life path and overall are just good people to be around. I made some amazing and loyal friends which Is what I'm most thankful for attending the highschool.
