Student experiences… Things are different here because you can be who you were made to be, a beloved daughter or son, and learn to be a sister and brother to your friends. Other schools aren’t like that. I went to another Catholic school before here and it was not about family. It was about surviving and competing among others for attention. I love THS because I can be who I am and I don’t have to pretend to be someone else. I can be proud of my faith. I can also be silly and weird without receiving judgement and criticism. THS is where you have the opportunity to do whatever you want to try. You aren’t stuck in one role or activity- play soccer, be in the musical, go on mission trips- whatever you want. You are surrounded by a family that wants the best for you.
