Tell me about Good Counsel. Don't want my son to go to local public for HS

I didn't think the Catholic high schools were allowed to send "Interest Letters." When did you receive the letter -- Sept/Oct 2021?

Are you sure it really came from the school? Was it signed/emailed by one of the OLGC girls' lacrosse coaches?

The above Good Counsel email is fake.

It came from olgchs.org email address.

Signed by Michael Haight.

My daughter is not a star lacrosse player, which is why I found it suspect. I also know that it was extremely unlikely he saw her play or even knows what team she is on or what her number is.

Also, the letter went on with more details on application process and then at the end of the letter it said this:

Please feel free to contact our staff or XXXXX in the Admissions office to assist you with the process. Let us know when you have successfully completed the application and we will check in with the Admissions Office to verify it has been received.

How is it a fake if it came directly from the lacrosse coach?

Then she must be on a good team! Or maybe he knows the coach of your daughter's team? I am sure there is a lot of competition to recruit players. Unless you really disliked the school, your daughter should have applied.

LOL I wish. I don't think they have any idea what team she plays on. We filled out a form for a shadow visit and checked the lacrosse box for interests. I believe this is what triggered the email...nothing else.

Seriously you’re triggered by an email to apply to a school for lacrosse? It’s an advertisement letter. Calm down. You’ve been reading too many dull federal bulletins.

The email specifically said they watched my daughter play lacrosse. It is a lie and how stupid do they think people are? Did you read the email?

CALM down. Seriously, it’s an ad. This is so petty on your part. And I have no connection to GC at all.

I will go further and express that she shadowed and/or applied to numerous Catholic high schools (checking the lax box) and not one tried to pull a stunt like this.

Why is this bad? You don't see the problem with misleading a 14 year old?

I went there. It was mostly kids whose public schools were not strong. The wealthier kids were kids with LDs. I wouldn’t pay for it over Whitman or WJ.

Just as good as the other Catholic high schools in the area.

Probably true, but doesn’t have the prestige.
