School Reviews

I attended Marian Catholic HS, and by virtue of the education I received there, I went on to a private Jesuit college on a full academic scholarship. The reasonable cost of the Marian tuition paid off many times over when I had four years of private college, having to pay only room and board. I do want to mention that the Marian nuns there did not appreciate my sense of humor as much as my classmates did, but that was a minor issue.
