We are very proud to send our daughter to St. Linus. The caring, nurturing and learning environment is evident in the lower grades. The friendly office staff is always willing to assist us with our concerns or questions. We are very happy here at St. Linus.

Small school and close knit. Lots of parent involvement. Well rounded sports program. Last two graduates ( valedictorian and salutatorian) from the local catholic high school were St. Linus alum. They must be doing something right at this small school
