Our oldest daughter attended CHS, Currently, we have another daughter there. I have to admit that the quality of education has deteriorated significantly. In the past few years, there have been several poor teachers who should have never been hired. There are some long tenured ones who put forth effort to teach. Take a good look at the teacher's and be sure to ask about teacher turnover.
I attended Connelly H.S. at great sacrifice by my parents who were not well off by any stretch of the imagination. I was prepared not only academically, but also as a young woman who cares greatly about her faith and the community. Connelly was the greatest gift my parents could have ever given me. It made me realize my potential as an actress, a dancer, an intellectual and a person with many gifts to give others. The philosophy of Connelly has driven much of my thinking in my professional life(teaching) and my personal life. No other experience has come close to the wonderful four years I spent at Connelly. I truly wish all girls could have the opportunity to be educated as artfully as I.
Few parents realized the value of sending their kids to a private school. Obviously, money is the biggest factor. My husband and I decided to send our only child to a private school because we believe that she is our priority in life. It was tough because we had to set aside leisure in life such vacation, trips, and luxuries to provide our kid the best education. And we are not wrong! Now a sophomore at Connelly, she has showed a tremendous change not just in attitude but her thinking as well. Although, she started her elementary years in a private school as well (St. Justin Martyr School) that gave her a great foundation. Connelly strengthened her character, moral values and decision-making. She was shy and quiet in her early years, Connelly taught her confidence and brought out the best in her-academic, spiritual & life.
