School Reviews
5 I am a alumni to this school and we sent our daughter here out of choice. We recently moved and will miss these teachers beyond belief. The Catholic upbringing that I received and my daughter was receiving from this school does not compare to any in the state of Kentucky - Posted by Student/Alumni - D.lei |
