O'Gorman High School Reviews

Rating 5 out of 5
My experience at O’Gorman High School has been a pleasurable one. I have felt nothing but respect by my teachers and peers. I believe all of the sports are filled with school spirit and love. I feel as if the peers at the school can be a bit clique-y at times by excluding others in some activities. It is known by other schools that O’Gorman people only really hangout with other O’Gorman people. Some see O’Gorman as being co*cky, wealthy students. However, I feel as if the school has truly taught be to be humble and kind in the virtue of God. The best parts of my experience were for sure every sporting event that I went to. The thrill of the school spirit was unlike any other school around. There wasn’t a memorable moment in which I felt unhappy or that I thought the school was acting poorly. For change in the future years, I would just like to see the continuance of school spirit, athleticism, and studies at O’Gorman.
