Students Talk about St. Vincent’s

“When I transferred into St. Vincent’s from a public school, this close-knit community welcomed me from my first day. Today, it would be very challenging to be successful in college without the structure, organization and accountability I learned at St. Vincent’s.”

Nico Lamaison, SVHS ‘15, 4th year student in Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University

“Despite an extensive training schedule outside of school, I still felt connected and have formed friendships to last a lifetime. St. Vincent’s is a place where you walk down the hallways and see a friendly face…it feels like home.”

Caroline Velez, SVHS ‘18, 2nd year student with the School of Dance at The University of Arizona

Josh Martin, SVHS ‘13, UC Berkeley ‘17 B.A. in Linguistics and Cognitive Science PhD Student in Linguistics and Presidential Scholar at Harvard University

“The environment at St. Vincent’s provided me the opportunity to play three sports while at the same time having a good balance in my life for academics social activities. Our golf coach really helped me to move up to the next level and play in college.”
