Because of the small population of this school, I was able to feel like an individual, instead of a number in a huge academic system.

Same thing his entire sophomore year - This second year he had some wonderful teachers specifically Mr. Hook and Mr. Nunes - who made learning enjoyable. They were exceptionally supportive and encouraging. Their purpose was for their students to succeed. Counselor Ghilarducci and Mr. Arwine were also very supportive.

Very progressive education w/emphasis on 'thinking for yourself'. Saint's staff loving guidance provides knowledge, ethics, & Christian teachings in a spirit of community. Students are given a 'safe' place to discern, discuss, and make decisions for themselves. Great ethnic diversity, also. Dominican
