St. Teresa is a family. We are all connected with each other and God. However, we do have your short-comings. Our student body is not very diverse and our food is old fast food.

The teachers there were really friendly and caring. They were helpful to disabled students like myself, and have great resources to accommodate those with disabilites. The cross country and track and field program is among one of the best in Illinois. My love of running has started develop at this high school. I would like to see more courses being taught in the physical and natural sciences.
