Alum: I attended Evansville Day for high school. The classes and student body are small, in a good way. Everyone knows literally everybody, and you meet people from all walks of life, from all over Evansville, Southern Indiana, and even Kentucky and Illinois. I was able to bypass required math and foreign language instruction in college thanks to advanced courses offered by Evansville Day. It offers the small sizes and elite academics with traditional high school social options. Although naturally smaller in scale, Evansville Day offers competitive athletics (particularly boys basketball) with fun atmospheres, typical events like prom and homecoming, and an award-winning musical arts program. There are additional fun events that only an Evansville Day-sized school can offer; Progressive Dinner, Intersession (out-of-class education including international trips occurring the week before spring break), and Senior Projects (school-sponsored job shadowing for seniors). It was perfect for me!... Read 12 reviews

Senior: I have loved my time at Memorial High School. I am involved in a variety of different clubs, which I believe has made my experience so great. Being involved and knowing that you have a direct say in what happens in your school really makes it special. I have closer relationships to teachers because of this as well. Our administration has recently made it a priority to ask us what we think could be better about our school. This shows that they are interested in our well-being as students. In the years coming, I hope that they continue to ask what we think could be improved and take the steps to help achieve these goals of the students.... Read 163 reviews

Senior: Mater Dei High School offers challenging courses, a well trained staff, and a welcoming environment. Though it is a relatively small school, that allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, which give students more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed and prepared for the future. Plenty of Clubs as well as extracurriculars activities are available for all students to participate and develop skills.... Read 120 reviews

Junior: I am currently a Junior at this high school and I enjoy it very much. Everybody in the school at least knows everyones name and I feel that is really cool. We get to express our faith without repercussions and it is a privilege to have the ability to do that. We are a sports powerhouse in almost every sport and sports is more fun and engaging to us because we actually know who is on the field or court. Academically, Catholic is the best place to be in Owensboro. I would definitely recommend anyone to come to this school, but sometimes places like this might not suit you and that’s okay. All I have to say is that Owensboro Catholic will go above and beyond to conquer your needs and it is an overall loving and peaceful community to apart of!... Read 162 reviews
