Going to Bishop Hartley High School was some of the best years of my life. The major activities like house days and football and basketball games were some of the most fun memories I had there. Being there helped me as a student grow closer to God. The smaller class sizes helped make experiences more enjoyable and personalized while still being exactly what we need to grow. There was not much that was bad about my experience there although I would say more active listening to students needs would help a lot better.

Builds a community between all students and teachers. The teachers have been leaving in recent years due to administration. Now feels like begging for teachers to work there

A supportive House system, alternative teaching styles that encourage students to learn for themselves instead of by memory. 98 percent of the graduates go on to college. That says it all.
