Catholic Christian teaching and atmosphere, great teachers, and excellent quality in education.

Overall, the school had a good run. However, with the way things are, the school's foreseeable future is uncertain.

My grade for Damien is a "D" overall. If you are looking to send your child to a Catholic school, send them elsewhere. This school does not foster a CATHOLIC education. Mass is an "option" on some days, when administration should incorporate it into the days schedule. Read their mission statement and you will see the Catholic aspect is secondary. In addition, athletic coaches, to include "helping spouses", are rude and disrespectful with parents. The attendance office admin is cold and dismissive to students and parents. School grounds are in dire need of repair and maintenance. With the amount of tuition charged for this school, your expectations are higher, but this school falls short. As a product of a Catholic school eduction (elementary through college), I can say I an extremely disappointed in Damien.

i would not recommend this school for others. my child was so overwhelmed. they came home and cried every night. because there was so much homework there seemed to be time for nothing else like sports or other extra curriculars. there also seemed to be limited sports for the girls. they did nothing about the bullying and it was just a horrible environment.

Actually, this year, 2012, Damien went coed! As a female student in high school, I love this school so much. Teachers are wonderful and always willing to help, classes are good sizes, and most of the students I am surrounded with daily are kind and mature! Love this school!
