We love this school. It is a place where the prescence of God can be felt in every room and with every staff member. I have 2 children who attend this school, both are in elementary school and I can't imagine sending them anywhere else. They are learning and they are cared for, and I know that when

My star rating is for the middle school and middle school principal ONLY, not the elementary school. Read less
