Nolan Catholic High School Reviews

My son is a sophomore. He commutes 45 minutes each way to attend Nolan Catholic. He typically has at least an hour of homework every night and we virtually never hear a complaint. He enjoys the respect that comes along with high expectations. His favorite teacher, Ms Corbitt, teaches theology, but more importantly she teaches the kids to care about themselves and their school family. No school is perfect. But the majority of teachers and administrators at Nolan seem dedicated to helping kids find their unique 'gift' or talent.

With new administration as of end of the 2008-2009 academic year, the school administration is phenomenal!

2 of my children have graduated from Nolan and are attending prestigious universities with academic scholarships. 1 is currently attending and another will attend next year. As with any situation, I don't always agree with the decisions of the administration, but the investment in my children has been well worth the cost. It is a rigorous curriculum, so if your children don't plan to work, don't waste your money. I have been very happy with Nolan and my children loved their time there.

This is a great school. My son graduated and was rewarded by receiving academic scholarships from several major universities. He is now a Sophomore in the Honors College taking a pre-med curriculum. I highly recommend this school. They are true to their motto, 'Esto Dux', Latin for Be A Leader.

I am an alum as well as a parent. Nolan Catholic High gives our children a wonderful education and Catholic experience. The academic program is well worth the $$ and the friendships created are life long. The school is growing and that's a bit overwhelming. Personally, I'd prefer the smaller school community I knew as a student here, but the attention by the staff is still there. I appreciate their attentiveness and their genuine concern.

Most of these reviews are outdated. True: most of the teachers care about students and the standards are rigorous. But, oftentimes, the standards and the administration is letting education take a back seat for the sake of 'order'. Don't come if you don't think you can put up with it.

definitley a good school but extremely expensive...it's crazy. this school assures your child a successfull future if that's what you are looking for...this school prepares the students for college and how to take care of themselves.

My daughter is a 2003 graduate from Nolan, she is now at a four-year college. She feels that she has an advantage that other freshman do not have she is prepared and knew what to expect. Nolan gave her the gift of faith, knowledge, and the Catholic faith.
