It was during high school at Seton School that the cradle Catholic began to own his faith. “That’s where I fell in love with (it) – the philosophy, the theology, the sacraments,” he said. “To be surrounded by all these teachers and parents trying to live their faith – that example had a huge impact on me.”
“Seton School…is a college prep school with outstanding teachers in Religion, English, Science, Math, Arts, and Foreign Languages. Every student can participate in sports, theater, a variety of clubs, and community service. There is a firm commitment to learning humility and developing courage…”
“Wonderful doesn’t say enough. I can’t imagine having my kids at any other school. The community is great, the teachers are great, and the authenticity of the corporate witness to the Catholic faith is amazing.”
