St. Petersburg Catholic High School is the perfect & classic Catholic high school!
It's big enough to offer the tech bells & whistles, different clubs, & great athletics, while being small enough to have smaller class sizes, more individualized attention, & plenty of opportunities to make friends & not have your kid being lost/alone.
I have read some of the comments about racism & I disagree with their opinion. No racism has ever been shown to us, & the school constantly emails about volunteering for different community outreach clubs.
It is a prayerful school & supportive of the students' ethical, moral, & spiritual growth, as well as the academics. Everyone deplores racism, but it is not fair to insult an ENTIRE school. Please think & pray on this.
Thx,

St. Petersburg High School is comprised of its meaningful traditions, historic campus, and ambitious students. However, the school’s pride in its reputation consistently allows for minority groups to be belittled. Rather than dealing with racist, sexist, and elitist students and clubs, the school brushes over problems with threats to end events and traditions if parents and news outlets become involved. No credit is given to clubs who perform meaningful work in the community. Only clubs made up of a white majority, sports, and academics ever receive recognition. I would like administration to enforce real consequences for racism and bullying and recognize students that are positively impacting the community. Teachers must also face consequences for gossiping with students, picking favorites, and perpetuating student drama. Administration allows an array of injustices which creates a toxic school environment. There must be a way for students to voice these concerns and receive change.
There are many things to love and dislike about this school as with any other. Among the benefits of attending St. Pete High are the many programs that it offers its students. Whether its AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, Traditional, Construction, or Management, there is a program out there for students to explore. From experience, both the AP and IB curriculums are challenging and help students understand their academic potential. Tradition is also important: Interschool rivalries, myths about ghosts, and the split courtyards for lunch are somethings I will miss going off into college. Teachers aren't scary either. I am never afraid to ask them for tutoring or help outside of school if im ever struggling. They are there to help you succeed!
