School Reviews

I graduated top of my class from Gloria Dei nearly 40 years ago. Went on to graduate from a top catholic high school top of my class. The smaller class size and personal attention given to me helped me to succeed and reach my goals. The Gloria Dei family was also there for me even after graduation and thru a personal tragedy. If my grandchildren lived anywhere near I would recommend this school and church to them.
