I am a parent as well as an Alumni of St. Gabriel's. What makes St. Gabe's so amazing is the community. I could not ask for a more supportive environment for my daughters to grow up in. It has everything that we want for our children...an excellent academic platform, superior religious education, a caring teaching staff, and the opportunity for playing sports beginning at a young age. Belonging to St. Gabriel's is like adopting a small town feel in the middle of Kansas City.
