"I have two (2) children. My son attended SSCM from Kindergarten through 8th grade. He graduated in June, 2010 and is currently a Sophomore at St. John the Baptist HS. He is an Honor student and taking a few AP courses as well. My daughter is currently in 5th grade at SSCM and also began in Kindergarten. She is a bright, energetic student and has been given many opportunities to expand her education in recent years. The school includes many programs formulated for both the advanced student as well as the creative student. I am grateful every day for choosing this school. True, there is tuition to be paid, but my husband and I find it a sacrifice worth making. The kids are happy, intelligent, articulate and aware of the people and community around them. I can't ask for better than that in this lifetime and I truly believe that they now have the strong foundation they will need in the world of today."

"My three children all attended SSCM for a time, I transfered my older two into SSCM after spending years in public elementary schools, and my youngest has been there since Pre-K. There is such a difference between public elementary and Private, Catholic school. My daughter, who was so tiny, was being bullied in public school. They do not stand for that type of treatment at SSCM. My daughter is about to graduate from Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset, and will be off to College in the Fall. My oldest son is currently attending Chaminade High School, in Mineola, and is a sophomore. SSCM prepared them both well for the rigorous standards at these Catholic High Schools. My youngest is now in 6th grade, and has known his teachers bascially all his life. He is involved in the music program, and was selected for Senior Honor Band this year. This school is family centered, and the Parish is wonderful as well."

"My son graduates d in 2006 with honors. He faced the turmoil of 5 principles in the 8 years he attended. He learned to deal with all kinds of teacher personalities. He was not coddled along, but had to work for all that he attained. The music and arts programs rounded out a strong academic program. He was well prepared for the rigorous curriculum at Chaminade High School and graduated from there in 2010 rankng in the top 5% of his class. SSCM gave him the solid foundation to become the man he his today. I have confidence that he is prepared to take on the world as I send him off to college. I can't think of a higher recommendation than that!"

"My child just graduated SSCM with academic honors and is attending Chaminade HS in Mineola. He also received academic incentitve scholarships to attend the competing Catholic HS's in the area, as did a number of his classmates. My second child will be attending Catholic HS in the future and is doing well academically. I credit SSCM for preparing my children for high school. Our principal is wonderful who has implemented structure and discipline, rules and regulations. Unfortunately blogs like this are a haven for the disgruntled."

"I have children who graduated and one left in the school. It is expensive, that is true, but it has been worth every penny and all the sacrifice. My older children were well prepared for catholic high school and had no problem transitioning to the academic environment of the catholic high schools. They are in Honors classes and have seen multiple semesters on Honor Roll. As someone who did not attend catholic elementary school, I wanted my children to grow up in environment where they would be exposed to the catholic traditions I did not experience. SSCM accomplished that while giving them a good education. This year, we have a new principal (a nun) who I feel is 100% committed to our school, our children and their education. Some people may not like the new rules, but discipline is back! Fundraising (not $1000??) helps keep tuition down and is crucial."
