The best part of being a student at school is the school environment. The family environment of the school was one of the biggest reasons I chose to come to the school. I also loved the band. I joined the band when I was in eighth grade and it was a huge draw to the school. The worst part of my experience at the school was the inconsistency of the administration. We had new people in administration every year I attended the school and each time they would make huge changes that confused us deeply. The same administrations often did not communicate clearly with the students or teachers also.

The best parts of my experience at this school have been the people. I found my little group of close friends here. I also really love the teachers at this school; they've always been open about wanting to see us succeed. I wouldn't change anything about my experience.

St.VM sent me to college far more prepared than any of my classmates. As well as taught me about competitive sports and fully prepared me for the next level of athletics. St.VM had lots of changing in the administration made it hard to keep traditions.

My experience at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School was, unfortunately, very disappointing. While the academics were decent, and I learned a lot from some truly impactful teachers, the administration's handling of the school left much to be desired.One of the most troubling aspects was the clear favor...
