St. Monica has been a home away from home for our children for many years. The teachers truly care for their students and want what's best for them. The Catholic Identity continues to grow and get stronger year after year. The school continues to learn and improve in order to serve the students to the best of their ability, with the help of the parents. The community is strong and there is always an opportunity to help and support the school. I would definitely recommend touring St. Monica and seeing what it has to offer for your child(ren).

St. Monica Catholic School has been such an incredible and nurturing place for both of my kids. The teachers are top-notch and provide a loving and safe environment for all of the students to grow and learn. I am so thankful we found this school and our kids have done so well academically, spiritually, and socially. We are blown away by the community here and highly recommend St. Monica to everyone looking for the best school for their family.

This is our family's 3rd year at St. Monica. The school has a wonderful community, and it is a great group of families. The Teachers are top-notch, and we have been delighted with the education our children are receiving. The new administration has really provided a spark for the future of St. Monica.

Everything we were looking for in a Catholic education we have found at St. Monica. SMS has a rigorous curriculum, a state-of-the-art STEM lab, competitive athletics, a VERY involved parent community, and, most importantly for my family, a focus from our pastor and administration on strengthening the Catholic identity of the school and participation by students and faculty in the liturgical and sacramental life of the Church. I have five kids in the school, and they are all happy and thriving.
