AMDG. An excellent Roman Catholic high school for young men. Faculty and employees care for the students and their families. Good balance on academics and faith development. A 1966 graduate.

Very challenging academically, athletically and spiritually, but with a great community to help get your son through it all. "Men for others" says it well.
