Overall, my experience with SHG has been good. All of my teachers have been wonderful. I have played 2 different sports all 4 years and have been a part of many different clubs. The only bad part I have experienced would be friend groups and SHG is a smaller school so that can be good and bad sometimes. I am really looking forward to College and getting the chance to meet new people and finding my "new" friend group.

Overall it is a really good school. Great academically and athletically. It is a private school so it is expensive, but it is well worth it.

SHG not only prepared my for college, but for life. Tuition was worth every penny. If I still lived in the area, my two sons would...

Some teachers are better than others as is the case everywhere. The leadership at the school from the principal to coaches is so revered by the student body, that using any other standard such as personal opinion would be incorrect. Excellent facilities, lunch food could be healthier. Diversity coul...

Not worth the money. Despite all the "scholarships" they offer lower-income students, if you are unable to pay off your debt by graduation, they will not release your final transcripts to your college. This means that you will not be able to get financial aid for your second semester of college. Com...
