St. Patrick High School

The teachers at this school go out of their way to build personal relationships with the students. Community service requirements encourage students to remain engaged in the community. The school has great out of classroom experience programs, such as weekly visits to nursing home residents by the senior class. The athletics for the most part are above and beyond, with the coaches and administrators using sports as a tool to build discipline, as well as a way to build social and leadership skills. The religion dept basically allows students to study Catholicism as a worshiper or as an observer, so it's open to those who are not Catholic.

School emphasizes the Boy's Town Philosophy promoting respect and discipline. School is quite demanding of students with pretty high academic standards as well as community service hours. Teachers work well with parents and all have email addresses and phone numbers to make sure parents can stay in contact with them. Administration is very hands-on. Class sizes are small. They keep the Middle School kids in a separate part of the building away from the older grades. Most of the kids go out for most of the sports. They have football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, track, and golf. Every year, the school has had a huge number of students receive scholarships. I've been really pleased with the school!
