School Reviews

5  
I'm an alumni, graduated in 1975. Some of my fondest memories are when I moved to the St. Louis area from a rural area in Missouri and was enrolled at Ursuline for my freshman year. That was the best decision my parents ever made for me. I have had lifelong friendships with some of my classmates and am very proud that I attended and graduated from Ursuline Academy. Go Class of 75!!
