daughter’s transition to St. Catherine’s Middle School was better than she or I could have ever imagined, supporting and encouraging her every step of the way. [She] has thrived academically, socially, musically and athletically because of the relationships she has with the administration, teachers and coaches. Our family couldn’t have asked for a better middle school experience for our daughter.”
