Not an SR parent but the daughter of one of my close friends goes there. Not conservative and not super catholic. I heard about pride flags in the classroom and many of the girls go to pro choice marches.

Not sure why you are spreading inaccurate information about the school here when you aren't even in the community. There are no pride flags hanging at SR. The school has pivoted to a much stronger Catholic identity while still being welcoming to non Catholic families. Gender issues are tolerated, but not condoned by any means. It certainly isn't celebrated like it is in pubic schools. Plenty of conservative families at SR who will not tolerate that nonsense.

Definitely not nonsense under any circumstance.

Sure it is. Glad SR doesn’t promote pride activities like so many public schools. It is having a horrible influence on our youth.

LOL you do realize there are dozens of lesbian girls at SR? One could be your daughter or her best friend. Get a grip. Even the Pope doesn't care about same sex couples at this point.

LOL, dozens? Maybe. There's a handful of trans and I honestly don't care about sexual preference. I just don't want my child in a school that celebrates being trans or ones sexual orientation. Totally not necessary and SR does not do that. They quietly accept it, which is totally appropriate. And no, my daughter is 100% straight and one of the few devout students in the school who is also pro life. They need more like her.

You think it’s wrong to celebrate being different? I care more about whete the girks are kind to each other, supportive etc, then I do about their sexuality. The type of kids in my kids cohort matters. Their sexuality or gender identity does not.

If it doesn't matter, then why do you want them to celebrate it?

It shouldn't matter whether someone likes boys or girls. It is a private matter not to be advertised and promoted all over the place. Nor is it ok to celebrate kids with gender confusion. If you are going to do that you should celebrate lots of other things like: kids with learning differences, kids who come from single parent homes, kids who are adopted, kids who have physical limitations, kids who are cancer survivors, I could go on. Why single out celebrating a certain group of people based on sexual issues. It is perverted.

Few things are more celebrated than heterosexual pairings. When you're a kid, there's Valentines Day at school, Disney movies, Barbies, pretend weddings, those "future ladies' man" shirts you can buy for a literal toddler – it's everywhere. My kid's 3rd grade teacher (not at SR) showed the class pictures of her wedding with her husband, and the kids all thought it was adorable. Our middle school has done shows like Beauty & the Beast, Adams Family, High School Musical, Shakespeare plays, all about straight relationships. When you're in high school, there's a huge emphasis on homecoming, prom, etc.

We're a two-mom family and I don't have a problem with any of this (minus the toddler shirts, that one's weird). But it's pretty wild to say we "promote" homosexuality by existing or maybe having a rainbow flag when our entire culture is set up to celebrate straight people.

Yes, new family (not 2029) but it would be good to know more about this kind of thing. And info on the dress code would be great too.

DD’s teachers were demanding and I don’t think there were ever retakes, but broadly speaking they did give girls the opportunity to improve their grades (eg extra credit projects that were challenging, corrections, etc). The teachers had high standards, they expected the girls to do their work in the timeframe assigned, and, at least in the honors/AP classes, they moved at a fast pace and assigned a lot of work. Teachers were willing to work with girls who communicated with them. I know some of DD’s friends took a less rigorous course load and their teachers seemed a bit more lenient, but I think the above minus the pace/workload applies.

As for dress—there’s a uniform and it’s pretty straightforward. I believe you can find all of those details on the SR site. School was/is frustrated that families were not enforcing the kilt length rule at home so they started aggressively cracking down at school, but in the end I’m not sure it made a difference. US girls wear sneakers of their choice unless it’s a dress day.

This thread is making me worried about accepting at SR.

This is my experience also. The school feels very middle of the road with mist controversial topics. It's a reach to call it left- leaning.

And people are failing to notice there were also used needles. Do you want your child doing that, even with gloves on?

??? Kids picking up condoms and used needles in a park??

Hello I am a new parent 2025-2026 school year for the class of 2029. How strict is it and how harsh is the grading.

I can think of many other ways the girls can be of service without handling bio hazardous waste. But you do what you think is best for your own child.

Cool—so you’re fine with ‘quiet acceptance’ as long as no one actually celebrates who they are? Funny how ‘pro-life’ only extends to the womb, not to letting people live proudly. Your daughter’s beliefs don’t get to dictate everyone else’s humanity."

I totally get your point and agree with you 100% but you obviously used AI for this. Next times speak with the heart.

We need to celebrate everything that makes us us from a young age. From metal and physical disabilities, Which gender they are and which gender they are attracted to, and everything else you listed. You saying that it is perverted makes me very concerned about you because it will only be perverted if you make it perverted. you saying it should not be advertised is saying they should not speak or be proud of who they truly are. With the logic you are using, TV shows and movies depicting any sort of love also are perverted.

Yes there are statistically dozens of them at SR. Having rainbow flags is not attacking your "devout" daughter. We go to mass every sunday and rainbow flags are the least of the world's issues.

What if her best friend came out? Would you not allow your daughter to be friends with her?

One of her former friends is a lesbian. It wasn't an issue until she got sucked into a group chat with other girls in the pride group having vulgar discussions and references to all things trans/gay...like this was the only thing defining them. She ultimately decided to leave the chat and distanced herself from the girl. Religion is becoming more and more popular and my daughter is the trendsetter here. There are more and more want to serve in the ministry. I hope this continues.

There is a Pride group in the high school. That's the extent of the celebrating.

LOL a "trendsetter"

If you don't want your daughter in a school like that remove her. It's that simple.

Exactly!! Which is why she is at SR.

I don’t have an issue with anyone living proudly. Just leave it outside of the school boundaries. It’s just a distraction and waste of time.
