The best part of my experience at St.Mary's would be the discussion based learning. It has helped me to be able to carry a conversation with any indivual, and has truly prepared me for future college classes. The worst part of my experience at St. Mary's is the immense incorporation of faith into learning which often distracts from equally important topics. I would like to see a change in the offered classes, specifically having more APs as well as more electives.

Saint Mary's Catholic High School is a small school but because of that, the community is amazing. You know everyone which means you have a relationship with every person at that school. I grew up attending Saint Mary's events and what I love is that you feel like you're at a big family party. Attending sporting events and being apart of the Varsity Spiritline makes everything 10x more fun and being involved in our small community makes my high school experience more fun.

Saint Mary's has a traditional type of schooling, whereas schools today only prepare students for tests or good grades. Saint Mary's forms the student to be a person with good and virtuous character. They do this in their classrooms but also because its a small school the relationship between students and teachers help in the academics but as well with life.

There are other Catholic high schools in the Valley but all of them were very subpar on the Catholic dimension. The academics are excellent. Good balance betwee...

I am extremely disappointed in this current Saint Mary's. I had a very positive opinion but for the last 5 years, I must say it has not lived up to the standards. The discipline is out of control. There is behavior that is not conducive to a Christian conduct, and the discipline is nothing. I feel i...
