Our journey with this school has been transformative for our son. We chose Delone not only for its strong academic reputation but for the values it instills-accountability, kindness, and community. In a world where being an outgoing and friendly teenager can sometimes be misunderstood by peers, this school has embraced who my son is and has kids to match his energy. He has found a space where his outgoing nature is valued, and he's able to be a "big fish in a small pond," thriving in a more intimate, supportive environment. He's included, encouraged, and appreciated for who he is, and that's made all the difference. The school's culture doesn't tolerate meanness, and that has given him the confidence to be himself without fear of judgment. The teachers, coaches and support staff genuinely want these children to thrive and consistently offer their support.

Delone has made such a difference in my life. It is more than just a school it`s truly a family and a community. They impart upon us Catholic values and leading a noble life. The academics are amazing, and I have excelled due to the small class size. Delone has a great environment and a very welcoming atmosphere.

Delone Catholic High School is a very well-organized school, that provides lots of opportunities for all kinds of students. It gives a numerous amount of activities for students like me to participate in outside of school hours. These include sports, dances, musicals/plays, and many more. My personal favorite is the sports because they are fun to watch as well as play in them! The student body is extremely positive and supportive. There is no need to feel left out in this school because there is a place for everyone. Overall, Delone Catholic is a great school that challenges students' academic abilities, preparing them for college as well as the real world.
