Bishop Shanahan High School Reviews
Rating 3.62 out of 5 186 reviews
Bishop Shanahan is an amazing school. You have the chance to succeed that you won't find anywhere else. We have an amazing related arts program along with many academically challenging courses in English, Math, Science, and History. Going to Shanahan has changed something in me and my peers who walk these halls with me. Here we encourage you to live up to your best relationship with God by holding annual masses each month and praying before anything we do as a school community. We have an amazing sports program whos always looking for new teammates. Bishop Shanahan has a welcoming atmosphere that can't wait to welcome you into our faithful community.
I really like attending Bishop Shanahan High School. Most of the students are very polite and motivated. The school is very faith-based and feels like a community. The reason that I did not rate it five stars is because in general, BSHS is very strict in comparison to other schools. Additionally, the workload is very difficult and many teachers are on the older side. However, the school is fairly new, clean, and has puts on amazing musicals!
I love the community, as almost everyone is kind and respectful. However, I would like to see some improvement in cooperation between administration and students. Overall a great school, though!
