I attended this school from Preschool all the way through 8th grade and graduated just this year. Most of my teachers over the years were absolutely outstanding and made learning fun and interesting. I still remember the place value song that my third-grade teacher taught me! XD Mrs. Stepp was the most amazing teacher and principal. She worked her butt off to make the school the perfect learning environment. Religion is the cornerstone of the school's curriculum and the school performs well in all subjects. It is the perfect private school in most aspects, including a nice campus in a safe area. Overall, if I'm still in the area when the time comes, I won't hesitate for a second to send my children to this school, and I recommend that you do as well! Other things you should know about the school:-All students in 5th grade and up are given a Chromebook for classes, and they are taken home to charge every night and are turned in at the end of the school year-Students are not allowed to bring their own lunch unless they have an allergy (this is due to the cost of preparing lunch every day)

Each of our children attended K-8 at SHCS, so we have experience that ranges over a number of years. The new (2013-14) administration (principal, vice principal) are in over their heads. In less than a year, the principal has established a culture of favoritism and fear, causing a number of teachers to flee the school. She doesn't understand how to properly deal with people or use even basic courtesy in communicating with either adults or children. Perhaps the Bishop intentionally chose this new direction. Or perhaps he is not yet aware of it. Either way, within a year or two the only new parents who seek out this school will be parents who are simply committed to Catholic schools and don't want to drive to another part of town. This school will not attract families who undertake an impassioned review of their choices.
