Good school spirit, but academics used to be better. Still good (AP and IB are rigorous), just reduced course offerings. Teachers are good: very available and able to form personal connections. Extracurriculars are great, sports and theatre especially.

It is a positive uplifting environment and we are blessed to have our son attend Donovan Catholic. We appreciate each and every teacher, administrator, coach and all that are involved in our son's high school experience. My husband and I have attended church at St. Joseph Church since 1995 and have always wanted to send our son to Donovan Catholic and it is the best choice we have ever made.

My teachers understood how to challenge me as an individual, and how to adjust those challenges to meet the needs o...
