Although I began with very few friends and a penchant to succeed, only one of those things continued past the first week. Being a thespian, it was highly unlucky that I didn’t get to participate in the school’s fall play, but since being cast in the spring play I have made up for it 100 fold. My experience in being the unofficial Boy’s Division Chorus president truly gave me some perspective I wasn’t expecting. From Human Geography presentations about social economics in Iceland with my wonderful teacher, Mr. Ting, to my Honors Geography logic and reasoning assignments with Mr. Smith, to a fetal pig dissection in honors biology, I truly can say that I have experienced it all and more here at Regis Jesuit, and that I’m sure to not leave anytime soon....

I had many opportunities available and decided to push myself in the arts and in academics. I was able to take 5 AP classes and a concurrent enrollment class. I participated in choir and band and was part of the All State Choir my junior and senior year. During my junior year, I experienced a medical emergency requiring multiple surgeries. Rock Canyon and DCSD staff and programming stepped in to make sure I continued with my education. I completed my junior year on-line due to health struggles and finished with a 4.0.

I'm really impressed with the high expectations the teachers have for students and they way they all "nerd out" together. The kids have tons of STEM-related experiences during the school day and through amazing multi-day excursions/trips. You can tell this school really prioritizes learning and problem-solving. I think it's important to note that, if it's between funding a new electronics lab and upgrading the students' soccer jerseys, STEM is going to prioritize the lab. And you know what? We're fine with that! Our daughters get the sports they need and want outside of school. We like that when they go to school, they get access to STEM experiences they wouldn't find at any other school....

I love my school so much! The community is amazing and the teachers are always willing to help. They understand your conditions and will accommodate accordingly. It is relatively simple to start a club and there are many leadership opportunities for students to take part in. I also, will earn an Associate's of Arts degree by the time I graduate high school. Some things that could be better is the building and remote learning. The building has had issues multiple times, which caused for remote learning. This will be better next year because Inverness and Parker are combining. It is hard for teacher's to accommodate to student's needs online.

For anyone that is a Christian and wants to strengthen their relationship with God, it’s a good school. I’ve a tough experience with public school in the past, so I was glad to be here for high school. For the most part, the students are nice, and a lot of the teachers are very caring and friendly. Our principal is probably the best there is! One downside- it is a growing school, so they are constantly in need of more parking lots and spaces. It seems that as soon as one new lot gets built, there’s always a need for another lot.
