“One of my favorite things about Laurel is the ability to sit down and have a true conversation with my teachers. My teachers are so willing to take their time and make sure I am caught up on material, or that I understand what is being taught.� - LAUREL STUDENT
“Laurel instilled in me, at a very young age, the self-confidence and strength of character to pursue the lifestyle and goals I wanted, without fear of the challenges I faced or the judgment of others. Laurel taught me that being a woman is a strength, not a hindrance.� - LAUREL ALUM
