Coming into SLUH was a very large change for me, especially socially. Going from a small school to such a large environment truly changed my world and involved a very hard transition. However, between the various activities and the many helpful teachers I was able to become better adjusted. Beyond the my first year, I've had a very enlightening time at SLUH due to the many resources and opportunities at disposal. I've been involved in multiple clubs and trips and gotten to do and see things I never would have imagined to get out of a high school experience. Academics are very rigorous and truly can push you to your limit, but there is also typically easier options as well. I've had many great teachers and although there some were a lot more lacking(that is, for my learning style), some of my favorite learning experiences have happened at this school. It feels extremely rewarding to do well in a class.

Challenging academics, excellent athletics, and a great community. St Louis U High was an incredible place to call home for my high school experience. If you are up to the challenge of getting a jump start on college preparedness, join the SLUH community. It is well worth it!
SLUH is an incredible place that really turns boys into men. It emphasizes the Grad at Grad: being Religious, Open to growth, Committed to Doing Justice, Loving, and Intellectually Competent. The education is unparalleled because it is not just focused on teaching you the books, but teaching you how to be a better person. Now, as a minority, it has been difficult to adjust to a school that is mainly white. However, the support system at the school is awesome and the teachers, counselors, and administration are always there to have your back.
