Gail and Chris Jones - Current Parents
We have sent two children to Saint Viator because of the emphasis on academics and a focus on educating the whole person. Saint Viator challenged our children academically, pushed them athletically, and engaged them in their school and local community. Unexpectedly, that sense of engagement and community became infectious, and we, as parents, found ourselves as much a part of the Lion community as our children. Being a “ Lion for Life” has been a unique experience, resulting in lifelong friendships and a strong sense of obligation to the Saint Viator community.
