So if a child (gasp)actually gets cut for whatever the reason and does NOT go back to public, it is because of parent embarrassment, not because there is more to high school than LACROSSE. How did we all miss that in our decision making process???? oh, now I get it...so my kid (and us) are not in school with people that think that way (and that includes you). Full disclosure - we are a Catholic school family


Because I have spoken to kids that have been cut. They would go back to their public school or another Catholic school. But there parents won't allow it. By the way, I have never heard one kid (including non-lacrosse players) say they love Chaminade. It's the parents that love Chaminade

I have have a son who is a Chaminade alum. When he attended Chaminade, I will concede that I never heard him or any of his friends say that they loved Chaminade. The school is a grind. However, every single one of them -- to a man -- say that they want their sons to attend the school. Very telling.
