Just as good as the other Catholic high schools in the area.[/quote]

Good Counsel should be ashamed of itself.  They sent a letter to my daughter claiming they saw her playing lacrosse.  They did not.  They lied to generate interest.  This is the tackiest thing I have ever seen done in high school admissions.  It was the tipping point of our deciding not to go forward with the application.

Some text from the letter:

"As lacrosse players, this email is to inform you that one of our coaches or myself has seen your daughter play and we are extremely interested in helping her become a FALCON!  This is our official INTEREST LETTER!  Do you have the desire to up your game level?  Do you have the desire to help the FALCONS win a National Title?  Are you a solid performing student and well-rounded?  Do you want to be pushed farther than you knew was possible?  IF SO, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!  Please email back if you share the same interests and would be interested in chatting via the phone or in-person at Good Counsel! 
 
We as a staff are extremely excited to show interest in your daughter to become a student-athlete at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School.  We are excited to have accomplished the following things during the past 21 years of Coaching at Good Counsel:
