Best Private High School - Four Years Running
Saint Monica Preparatory is the Best Private High School for the FOURTH year in a row, according to HomeTown News readers in its annual “Best of” August issue. Sending a big thank you to everyone in the community who voted for SMPREP. It's a wonderful recognition of our strong academic, athletic and student programs resulting in impressive Class of 2024 college acceptances to top schools including Berkeley, Dartmouth College, University of Notre Dame, UCLA and USC, and our Mariner athletics program boasting multiple CIF and league champions.
The community joined together this week to celebrate the Feast of St. Monica, our patron saint, and the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year. Our pastor Monsignor Torgerson was serenaded on his 85th Birthday, after he blessed SMPREP students and the new campus turf for the school year ahead.
