    Juan Diego Catholic High School Reviews

    I could write a ten page paper on this school because of everything administration has ruined but I'll shorten it. Basically JD was great when I first got here my sophomore year. Administration was amazing, my teachers were great, and I quickly adapted. But it's been going downhill so fast ever since they implemented the irrelevant reading program where they make us all read 40 minutes every day and don't let us do homework or study during that time. The principal is now getting way too involved and basically says irrelevant things to us over and over. Seniors have been breaking rules but instead of punishing those seniors, they punish future seniors. One of Juan diego's biggest problems is the obvious priority they give certain students (basically student gov kids and football players get no repercussions for their actions). JD was great at first and it still has its perks but I'm glad I finally graduated because it's not as great as it used to be.

    I have been at Juan Diego since Kindergarten, and now I am a graduating senior. My education on this campus has been stellar. It offers a wide variety of AP classes and Honors classes and it attracts committed students. The teachers are exceptionally well-trained, from all over the United States, and they are all very approachable as well. The facility is modern and welcoming. The extracurricular activities offer something for everyone and promote well-rounded human beings.
    Juan Diego Catholic High School truly has the greatest high school experience I could have received in all of Utah. The school is balanced well in academics, athletics, activities, faith, and school spirit and culture. As a student who has attended schools at Skaggs Catholic Center since 7th grade I argue the positives of JDCHS significantly outweigh the negatives. The students and faculty at JDCHS are amicable and intelligent. This is a result of great Campus Life Leadership, academics, and hard-work from administrators and teachers to create an outstanding high school education.
