I graduated about ten years ago, so it may be quite different, but I am so very grateful that I got…read morethe opportunity to go to high school here! When a lot of people think of private Catholic schools, they think of rich white preppy kids and extremely conservative environments.

It helped to shape who I am today more than any other course I have taken - including my college courses. I am very proud to be an Islander and only hope to be able to give this experience to my children as well!
