St. Michaels school is a great school and the best choice for catholic education. Everyone is so polite and nice, there is never a student left out. The older children are role models for the younger kids. The teachers know exactly where the students need help and we get a lot more one on one with the teachers. My favorite part about my school is that all of my best friends go here and we have known each other forever. I love St. Michaels School! :)
