[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former Heights parent here, so I thought I would give my perspective. We applied for the high school, and were initially attracted to the curriculum and faith formation. Faculty seemed to really care about the kids when we spoke to them at the Open House. Anyway, our kid had ADHD but we had heard about the institutionalized discrimination at the school against students like our son, so we lied and said he didn't have any issues. We went to confession and felt better, but later learned through our son's religion class at The Heights that we had committed the sin of presumption. Anyway, not sure where we stand with the Big Guy right now, but we're trying our best.

We loved everything about The Heights until the day an incident occurred that caused us to leave. Our son was in an English class where I think they were learning the proper uses of "their" and "there" and I guess the teacher brought beer for the kids. Now, remember my kid has ADHD and the school doesn't have a nurse, so he's popping pills at his locker whenever he gets a chance. I guess he went heavy on the dosage and crushed a couple of Natty Bohs. Things went south from there. Apparently a fellow classmate dared my son to climb onto the roof at school and my son fell off.

Okay, your stomach probably dropped when you read that, but he's totally fine now. Back to the story, there is no nurse on campus to help my son so the teacher calls 911. The EMT's arrive but they are all women. Apparently the institutionalized sexism at The Heights was strong with my son, because he actually refused treatment until a male EMT arrived. Anyway, amidst all the commotion, the truth comes out that my kid's been popping pills, and long story short, we get counseled out of The Heights.

In the end, we definitely deserve some blame because we lied about our son's learning issues. The thing that I miss the most about The Heights is the parent parties though. They have some epic parties, probably even rivaling some of the Gonzaga crowd. I mean, you've got some Dad's that are probably first team all WCAC partiers at that place...great times.[/quote]
