School Reviews
| 5 I was very well-prepared for high school after graduating from St. Peter School in academics and in technology use. I also tested into Spanish II in high school! I played volleyball and basketball, too, and I still keep in touch with my friends from St. Peter. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Cindy S. |
