It’s a New Year at the Best Private High School - HomeTown News
Saint Monica Preparatory was named the Best Private High School by HomeTown News readers in its annual "Best of" issue for the THIRD year in a row! We are grateful for the recognition and opportunity to highlight our school offerings - from experiential learning opportunities, Mariner Ocean Research Institute and Japanese Exchange Program, to the strong community where students are known by name and given direction to foster their growth academically, spiritually, and social/emotionally, to the competitive athletic program.
Noting that we are entering our second year as one unified TK-12 school, HomeTown News cited SMPREP's robust academics and counseling program, as well as our 2023 graduates matriculating to competitive colleges and universities, in its Best Private High School ranking.
