As an alumni of St Henry and now a parent, I am so grateful for the blessing of this school and it's impact on my life and the lives of my children. The education we`ve received has been based in faith and well rounded every step of the way. Having sent one child on to high school and preparing another for next year, they've been quite well prepared. We love the community, fellow parents and staff so much!

We enjoyed 12 years as part of this wonderful school community with our 2 children. The academics, sports, and overall culture are top-notch. Our entire family has made friends for life through St. Henry. Our children are now attending a private high school and are well prepared for the academics and leadership opportunities there. We are so grateful we chose St. Henry!

St. Henry School is a wonderful place in so many ways. My daughter transferred in middle school and we were all nervous at how that would go. We immediately felt embraced by the community of parents, students and teachers. The classes are leveled and perfectly challenging; the teachers are loving, the Dominican sisters are a presence I wish we had enjoyed earlier in my children's life. They have Promethean boards in the classrooms and seem to always be looking for ways to advance the educational experience of the students. And, when we were forced to go remote for the end of 8th grade due to the COVID19 pandemic, the move was as if they had planned it for months. Learning continues, challenging and engaging as always. Then, they went above and beyond to make this graduating class feel celebrated. One of the first school parades in the city of Nashville. I think they may have started the trend! We love SHS!
