This will be my daughter's freshman year at St. Amant High. From experiences with my son, the staff was kind and compassionate. The kids are tough, I am nervous about my daughter starting here.

I am a student at St. Amant. Education wise this is a great school. There is plenty of supervision and lots of guidelines and is an overall nice place. If your child is into sports then this will be heaven. Now if your child is a gothic type brace yourself you're in for a ride.
