This is one of the best schools! Both of my children have attended St. Euphrasia. My oldest is 23 years old and my youngest still attends. The academics are on point. The teachers are fabulous and so loving and caring and supportive! Thank goodness for the new leadership the past two years! The new principal, Ms. Dall, who was also a teacher there for years, has really turned things around in such a positive way! I highly recommend this wonderful school!
