I've really, truly enjoyed my time here at St. Bede and it's been great meeting so many new friends, teachers, staff, etc. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly here, making me excited to go to school every day. There's always something new and exciting to look forward to each and every day so it makes going to school fun (as fun as school can get). The only thing I'd like to see change is more school spirit and hype for sports events. As an underclassman, I always saw how much fun the older kids would have cheering front row in the student section and I couldn't wait for it to be my turn. Now that it is, it's really not that exciting or fun. It's not the school's fault, really, but it's lowered my expectations about high school. I just wish these memories of football games, school dances, etc were more hyped up and fun because then it would bring fun memories for me to look back on post-graduation. Overall, I couldn't imagine myself spending my high school years anywhere else.
As an alum, I recently returned for a visit. The new Perino Science Center is state of the art, and the faculty impressive. St. Bede has always been excellent academically, but now with the new science facilities, it can't be beat. Alumni continue to support the Academy, and while the cost is truly quite low for an education of this level, there are lots of scholarships available to make St Bede Academy even more affordable. Go Bruins!
St Bede is a big family. You always feel welcome. I've meet great friends, and grown in my faith. The religion teachers are awesome and cool!
