The teachers and faculty WANT every student to succeed. They will accommodate for kids with learning differences. It is a good fit for the high achievers as well as those who are more challenged. They are more progressive than any other school in their teaching methods. Bullying is not tolerated. Acceptance, civility and Christian values are highly emphasized. submitted by Mary Alice Edmonds, parent

This is a good school. Not a great school, but a solid one. It offers a lot of religious courses to build a strong foundation for kids. It does not offer as many AP courses as surrounding schools. The teachers are involved. I am still friends with one of my teachers. The school has a lot of spirit activities. There are some bad apples at this school. Some of the kids, like any school, do bad things on the weekend and sometimes at school. I feel as though they let too many kids that have been expelled or asked to leave from others schools come to CN. I know that the teachers care about the students, which is its biggest asset. What would make this school better would be more AP and honors options and more focus on academics. I did not feel challenged at CN and was shocked when I went to another high school. I made good grades without trying hard at all at CN.

Good academics, sports, and social environment. A great school with a solid spiritual foundation. CNHS provides a positive environment for middle and high school students.

This is an amazing school, growing and improving each year. About to relocate to a new and wonderful newly built site. Principle is a hands on loving soul who guides with wisdom and faith.

The school lacks the coordinated effort by the principal. She puts on a good show and makes you think she is working so hard, yet not much is coordinated. We left there this year very unhappy and dissatisfied.

This is a traditional catholic school environment that is highly effective and successful. My son is attending his 2nd year in 8th grade. The student to teacher ratio is wonderful. The classroom behavior is as it should be, a respectful, cooperative learning environment. I wish my girls had attended this school.
