Best - sports and the atmosphere around sports, the Academic Support Center, some good teachers that take an interest in you, class rotation schedule, morning workouts. Worst - lunch is overpriced, no fields on school property Things to change - lunch prices

DeMatha is a challenging, diverse school. The teachers care about the students and teach for the benefit of students. The school lunches are high priced. Athletics can't be beat. Students are friendly and it's a great atmosphere.

DeMatha was a very good school. Coming from public school Dematha was a bit of a shock to get used to the uniform and more of the rules but those things are what shape you to be a better person. DeMatha has so many aspects to join such as music, being an athlete, several clubs, and tons of community service. It gives you the opportunity to truly get to know one's self.

There are 38,000 high schools in America, but there is only One DeMatha. I'm an alumnus as well as a parent of two current students. We're not a sports family. It's great and fun to see your school's name prominently featured in national publications, but it isn't what's been important for our famil...
