    The faculty are so caring and dedicated to helping us students succeed. Courses are rigorous and well worth the effort, and they prepare us with so many invaluable skills for college that most other skills do not. It is a learning community and it is alive!

    St. Michael's has been my home for the past three years, and I would never want to go to high school anywhere else. The community is inclusive, welcoming, and it is very easy to find friends and feel comfortable. The teachers are amazing and make learning enjoyable, which is something that is very important for high schoolers. The food is spectacular and everyone who goes to St. Michael's can justify that. Overall, it is a great place to learn great things.
    SMCA is a place where students get the opportunity to pursue everything they are remotely interested in. High School often forces kids to make decisions between things they love because they simply can't do them all. At SMCA the students, teachers, advisors, and coaches all work together to allow for the greatest opportunities for everyone.
