I have 2 boys who graduated from this high school and both have now graduated college.Call it a college prep school, and SAHS indeed over-prepared them for college. Both of themare now about to enter graduate programs and service to community is in the forefront of theircareer goal (oldest is a civil engineer and the younger a biology graduate), which I hope becomestheir life's mission. The school is strong in tradition, and if this guarantees >90% college entrance, then this is a tradition every high school, both private and public , should keep.
