Sacred Heart Cathedral is is a good school and each day I am grateful to be attending this high school. Since I come from a low income family I appreciate all the resources and financial aid they have given me. Although the teachers and there aren't the best I still appreciate that I am fortunate enough to be receiving and education. Not everyone has the opportunity so me being able to go there has been a pleasure. I strive to do the best in my capability and there a some adults that I trust to talk to. Overall the school community is welcoming and I am very grateful to go there.

I'm the parent of a freshman and SHC. I've waited to get through the first semester so that I can be at a point where the "bloom is off the rose," so to speak, so that I am not merely the enthusiasm of being totally new. I had concerns about whether SHC would be the right fit for our kid. Kid had co...
