Academics
Our students go on to become proud graduates, attending a variety of high schools that span across Greater Cincinnati. Our students from the class of 2022 attend the following high schools: Badin, Fenwick, Lakota East, LaSalle, Mercy McAuley, Moeller, Mount Notre Dame, Princeton, Purcell Marian, Roger Bacon, St. Ursula Academy, St. Xavier, and Ursuline Academy.
We believe that setting a clear guide for our students is just one way that leads to their success. Each year, our teachers present the upcoming year's academic plan of action at our Curriculum Night so that our students and their families are aware of the expectations and goals of the year. We have shared these presentations below for your reference throughout the school year.
