I attened St. Hedwig many years ago, but I have MANY fond memories. The teachers and staff were always nice and if you got in trouble, you knew why and excepted responsibility for your actions. You had a "fear" of getting in trouble (although the most "horrifying" punishment I ever experienced was writing 10 times "I will not talk during class") When I was in 4th or 5th grade, I was reading on an 8th grade level. The classes were small and we were able to get more one on one time with our teachers. As a person with a teaching degree, I know the value of smaller classrooms.

Excellent school, excellent and caring teachers and principle. I have one child who graduated in 2017 from SFSH and five more still in the school. Two of my boys have visual issues and the teachers figured out creative ways to help them study and learn. In fact many of the teachers read about their diagnosis to learn better ways to help my boys. Several teachers also volunteer their time before and after school to tutor any students who need extra help with a subject. THAT is the type of dedication these teachers have to our students. We absolutely love St. Francis-St. Hedwig School. Best parenting decision we ever made was enrolling our six kids at SFSH.
