Senior: These past four years have been an absolute blast! First off, SJA is a school that proudly shares the Catholic faith with all of its students and has helped me grow exponentially in my own faith via daily Mass, weekly confessions, and adoration. Also, the teachers are rockstars and care about each student not only academically but also spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Finally, the students are amazing people to be around, and I've loved the community that the school has given me these last four years. I am getting ready to graduate from SJA, but I know that it will always hold a special place in my heart...Read 328 Reviews

Alum: I attended MH-MA for all four years of high school and had a great experience! High School brings a lot of challenges, and I had a great community to journey through those four years with. Many of the teachers I had were very dedicated to their students and guiding them towards success - always available if you needed extra help. Attending a school with students from around the world allowed me to learn about several other cultures and find some lifelong friends! The Catholic faith is definitely alive and a core value for this school which was very important for me. ...Having graduated, (and now as a working adult) I constantly find myself applying the values and work ethic I learned from attending Maur Hill - Mount Academy.Read 35 Reviews

Freshman: Saint Thomas Aquinas is an excellent school! It focuses deeply on the education of their students and on furthering their faith. What I love most about Aquinas is the community; you are always welcomed with a smile and everyone is like family. The school actively supports charities and the homeless around the area, like school supply drives and basic needs drives. Aquinas also takes our canned food drive seriously, raising over 200,000 cans in the past years. We also have the best school spirit and we cheer on our excellent teams with pride. The community at Aquinas is unmatchable, and you can always count on others to make you feel like you belong...Read 178 Reviews

Plus, Oakcrest truly looks to partner with parents in the education of their daughters, and has many events planned to grow and strengthen parents and families throughout the year - a win/win for all of us! The teachers and support staff are amazing, as is the new campus. Everyone connected with this school from top to bottom is amazing!

Senior: Kapaun Mt. Carmel is the second Catholic High School in Wichita Kansas. Kapaun Mt.

With Hayden's teacher-to-student ratio being so small, the teachers are perfect resources to use whenever students are struggling. Whether its before school or after school, teachers are willing to set up meetings to answer questions because they want what is best for each of us.

Senior: I, Hannah Flynn, am a senior attending Thomas More Prep-Marian High School. I have had the opportunity to earn an education at this school since Junior High. This school provides students with numerous chances to expand their faith and grow closer to God. There are countless areas of study available upon certain interest, as well as in extracurricular means. The atmosphere and attitude that fills the walls of the building uplift students and encourage them to learn. The one problem that lies within many individuals at this school is their unwavering opinions. It is not often that students are able to truly express their feelings towards certain topics without being shut down by a person of authority. This, in turn, makes a student feel undervalued, and less entitled to their own thoughts. It is clear though that inappropriate discussion and that which overshadows the Catholic faith will not be tolerated. This school greatly prepares students for their post secondary work overall...Read 71 Reviews

Students are stimulated to learn and to expand their knowledge of the world around them. Classes are very close and everybody is friends with everybody. I know every single person in the school well.

Senior: What I like about Sacred Heart is how every teacher strives to give the students the best education. Even if that is a little one on one time or if it is explaining in more depth to the whole class. The school grading scale is harder than public schools so that the students can strive to be better and more on top of their grades. If I had to change something about this school I would change nothing because to me I feel like this school is perfect for me.

Parent: As a military family we have traveled the country and have had the opportunity to see many different schools both public and private. After over 20 years of moving around we decided to put down roots in Kansas. And we did so because of this school and parish. St. X has an amazing group of educators who truly care about the individual students and their progression. Many parents are involved in the school activities so the school is always busy! The fact that is K-12 also takes off some of the burden of driving around to different schools to drop of the kiddos!...Read 5 Reviews

We have even had a lead musical role win an award as best lead role to win a full ride scholarship. Due to covid 19, it was more difficult to have many activities, but we still stood strong.

Alum: Trinity Catholic Jr/Sr High School is easily at the top in academics in Reno County. The curriculum, while slightly limiting, is extremely challenging and pushes all students to be the best students, Catholics, and people that they can be. This school isn't perfect, as the arts program has only just recently been rejuvenated, and although the facilities are improving, they are still not 10/10 due to lack of funds. Other than academics, Trinity has strengths in its diversity, its sports, its school spirit, and the way it prepares its students for college and life beyond. Boasting a robust exchange student program, students at Trinity are engrossed in a multitude of cultures from around the world. Trinity and its community are always there for the sports teams of which are steadily successful, flooding stands and gyms for its school. Most importantly, students from Trinity are most definitely prepared for college. Trinity is arguably one of the best schools for students who want it all...Read 145 Reviews
