What Our Students Say

“Donovan’s unique environment helped me succeed in so many ways. The constant support from not only friends and family, but also the caring teachers, allowed me to accomplish so much in my life. I would not be where I am today without everything Donovan provided.”

FORD SMITH, CLASS OF 2015

“I enjoyed going to Monsignor Donovan because it’s like a giant family.  The teachers and staff care so much about the students, and the students also care about one another.”

ALLISON W., CLASS OF 2013

I enjoyed the encouraging and positive environment created by the faculty and students at Donovan. Donovan students are ambitious, friendly and supportive of each other.”

MARIA CRAMER, CLASS OF 2010

“Monsignor Donovan prepared me for college by providing me with rigorous coursework and course options. I was given specific attention and encouraged to succeed on every level. I enjoyed the small school atmosphere and the fact that we could connect with our teachers on a personal level. It was like having an oversized family that I could always depend on.”

SAVANNAH WILLIAMSON, CLASS OF 2008

“One of the biggest challenges of college is time management. There are a few weeks where you could have a test in every subject or multiple projects due. Coming out of Donovan I felt very comfortable in stressful situations. I knew I was going to continue to do well no matter what was thrown at me.”

ANDY CRAY, CLASS OF 2008

Monsignor Donovan became my home away from home.  Everyone knows everyone, which fosters a very close-knit social community.  The teachers truly prepared us for college and life there on.”

EVAN C., CLASS OF 2014

“What I like the most about Donovan is the atmosphere. The students are kind and friendly and the teachers are happy.  I could talk to anyone in the school and feel great talking to them!”

PAUL CRAY, CLASS OF 2011

“I feel that I received a useful base knowledge that made adjusting to college much easier…. I think that was the most useful thing I got from Donovan. Taking AP classes at Donovan helped me alot because I think they were designed/taught like a small college course. The fast pace of the AP classes was a good introduction into the pace that my college courses take.”

SHEA GLASSMAN, CLASS OF 2008

“Donovan provided me with a community and family to return to. The strong friendships t I formed and fortified during my four years there remain important to me today…. Our class was close from the beginning, sharing the same schedule most of the day everyday. We really were more like a family than just friends. We were all comfortable with each other, and the teachers and faculty were part of that, too. I enjoyed that sense of comfort and safety that made high school easy and fun. ”

ANNABELLE BARBE, CLASS OF 2007
