"Where else could someone build a house in Nicaragua, see the Pope up close in Panama, and have an internship at a renowned institution? Only at St. Michael’s. Where else could someone lead praise band, sing the national anthem, rap a Dr. Dre song, and even play the harmonica? Only at St. Michael’s. These are the moments that have led me to affectionately nickname our school, “The School of Opportunity”–because where else could someone have such an enriching high school experience? Only at St. Michael’s."

“Being involved in Senior Leadership Team and school retreats has prepared me for my future by giving me opportunities to become more empathetic and more comfortable opening up to others. It gave me time to work on my organizational skills, interpersonal skills, and confidence. St. Michael’s has taught me to be fearless. I am no longer afraid to try new things.” | Zach '18
