In my past 4 years at St. Amant High school, I have been brought into a whole new world. St. Amant High school has made me feel like I fit in somewhere even through some of the hardest parts of my life. I have made so many great friends, who truly feel like family. The staff always ensures to make you feel at home and included. I have found myself as well as life long memories that I will cherish forever from St. Amant High School.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at St. Amant. I feel like it prepared me very well for college. I was able to obtain tons of AP and DE credit, which will allow me to graduate early from college.

I did not like that St. Amant spends more money on getting high ACT scores and high school sports. I wish they would provide more money to the arts. I felt that most of the counselors were more academic-focused rather than well-being focused. St. Amant was super strict about dress code and other rules and regulations. They need to not separate freshmen from the rest of the school because that clearly doesn't work since freshmen would always get into fights. What I did like is some of the teachers and I felt prepared going into college.
