School Reviews

5 8/8/2025

I still have my sports sew-on N letterman patch I earned for football in '64. It was a good school to attend. I lived in Schererville at the time. High academic standards they used to label "college prep" and athletic competition that maintained those standards through competition with both parochial and public schools.
