I attended Good Shepherd from 5th grade and attended till the end of middle school. Good Shepherd was really good at fostering my talents, such as public speaking and leadership. The study habits I gained allow me to succeed at the high school level and I continue to use them throughout my college career.

My three children attended Good Shepherd Catholic School and had the most amazing experience. My children felt safe, cared for and had a great academic experience that lead to them being accepted into their first choice high school. As parents, we could not be happier with the level of family involvement that helped make us feel like a close-knit community. All in all, we highly recommend GSBH!

Our child is in his second year of school at GSBH, and we could not be more pleased with his progress. He loves to learn and is excited to go to school every day. GSBH is very bright, clean, and welcoming, with walls covered in fun art projects and pictures of happy students. The teachers are very creative and effective and the staff is friendly and helpful. GSBH uniquely offers Pre-K and TK in addition to K-8th grade, so the students grow up together. It also means that the younger students are exposed to a more academic preschool experience than the average daycare provides. All of the classes are very small, fostering a lot of one-on-one attention and a very close bond among classmates. In the afternoons, the school offers optional music lessons, extracurricular sports, and a fun after-school program. We feel very lucky to have found GSBH!
