Some of the best parts of my experience at Wahlert are the different people that I am able to meet while there. There are some awesome teachers and peers, and I think that they all make the community very special. However, the facilities have been lacking and Wahlert is starting to lose resources as the school community pours money into projects that aren't as deserving as giving Wahlert more space or helping Wahlert gain more education opportunities.

Wahlert has been an amazing school for my high school students. They have had the opportunity to be involved in numerous sports and activities while also succeeding in their academic pursuits. Students at Wahlert are able to create their own academic path with AP and dual enrollment college courses which my kids have utilized to transfer to a four year college after graduation. Teachers and counselors spend time getting to know their students on a personal level and helping them to achieve their goals. Each of my kids has taken a different path through Wahlert academics and activities that aligns with their own unique interests. They have built relationships with others that have helped them grow in their faith and be prepared for their future.

The best part about Wahlert is being able to opening express my faith in a school setting. There is a high academic standard that challenges students and prepares them for the future. One thing I would like to see change is more involvement in the community and work life. Allowing kids to step in the real world and experience their strengths and how they want to impact the world.

A pretty average school. Sometimes the students can be disrespectful, though, which is kind of unfortunate.
