Exceptional school with the best teachers and adminisration. Pre-k program is a great foundation for the little ones. Wonderful support from the Pastor at St. Therese Church. School is hoping to be solar by the Spring of 2014. Wonderful sports program for grades 5th through 8th. Graduating 8th graders are well prepared for both St. Pius X or for Public High School. Many families are multi-generation Alum.
