I have had a great experience at St. Mary's Preparatory High School. When I first attended the school, I was nervous and did not know what to expect. My school experience prior to St. Mary's was with 95% African American students. My first day as a freshmen was really good. I met so many people from all backgrounds and nationalities. As my time continued on at St. Mary's, I participated in multiple sporting activities. I learned so many lessons playing sports at. I have gained a brotherhood with young men I will always cherish. The teachers at St. Mary's will always be remembered. They were so nice and really took an interest in me. Whenever I had problems, the teachers did not hesitate to help. So, you ask me how was my experience, it was the best and I will always cherish my experience at St. Mary's Preparatory High School. If there was one thing I would change, it would be upgrading the technology on the schools campus due to its age.

St. Mary’s was a great experience for me, I really enjoyed how the campus was set up like a college. The teachers are also top notch, and they are not just great teachers they are great people. The religious aspect of the school was also great for me, having mass twice a week really helps you stay in touch with your faith.
Perfect place for a wellrounded catholic education for boys. The school administration and teachers work on developing great character in the boys from the minute they step on campus. Administration is involved and enthusiastic about their job as a leader and role model for the boys. Teachers seek to make the boys successful and are always available for extra help. Opportunity for every student to join a sport and to become part of a team if they so desire. Lots of clubs to choose from as well. Communication with parents is excellent and parent participation is expected from both Parents. All of this is what makes the school an excellent choice for parents to sent their son to.
