This year is off to a great start and exciting time for all of our returning students and families. We are pleased to see new families that have chosen San Felipe de Neri as their school. Our school staff is dedicated to making your experience one that reflects professionalism and a true concern for all our students. Adapting to high expectations our teachers have for your children can be challenging but necessary in order to ready them for the next grade level. We now that tomorrow?s work force will have greater challenges and higher job expectations put on them. I can assure you that our graduates will be successful in any High School they chose to attend. The foundation of good study habits at school and home will bring rewards as your student progresses in school.
