And WHY ARE STUDENTS CHOOSING SPELLMAN?
Here are some reasons from students in the Class of 2013:
"One of the many reasons that I would like to attend Spellman is for the well-rounded academic and Christian education that I would receive as a student at your school. Spellman is known as a school that helps students to achieve personal goals and encourages friendships among students and faculty. The students that attend Spellman are very welcoming and I feel that I would fit right in."
"I would like to attend Cardinal Spellman for several reasons. My first reason would be that everyone I know who attends Spellman tells me that it is the best high school ever. Second on my list, but just as important, would be the great reputation Spellman has with their outstanding academic and spiritual programs. Third, Spellman has very competitive sports teams, such as my favorites, soccer, basketball and softball. My last reason would be to follow in my family tradition of becoming a Spellman graduate."
"I would absolutely love to be a part of the school. Cardinal Spellman got great compliments from my friends and family. I also love sports especially basketball and soccer. My friend that usually dislikes school told me that she loves it. I was surprised by that comment. I believe that this school would give me a great education and that it would get me ready for college. I would say I'm a strong believer in faith. This school would definitely strengthen my Catholic faith."
"I want to attend Cardinal Spellman High School because I have been following the Cardinal Spellman High School website since beginning of fifth grade and since the first time I looked it up on the web, I knew that Cardinal Spellman High School was where I wanted to go to high school. It is now three years later and there is still no doubt in my mind that this is the school for me. I like the sense of community, Catholic tradition and dignity that Cardinal Spellman High School has. I believe that I share the same morals and values as Cardinal Spellman High School. I am very focused on excelling at my next level of education and I know that there is no better environment to do that in than Cardinal Spellman High School. I suppose that I could list a hundred more reasons why I want to attend Cardinal Spellman High School, but it all goes back to that first time that I was on the website in grade five . . . it gave me a feeling of home, strong values and community. I just felt like Cardinal Spellman High School is where I am supposed to be."
"I would enhance the Spellman Commuinty with my spirit of friendship and acceptance of all. Since last June, I have been a part of a Life Teen program. There I learned about the true meaning of friendship and spirit. In my opinion, that same feeling of kindness and spirit is present at Cardinal Spellman High School. While attending the open house at Spellman, I found that each and every student carried within them a spirit of dedication to the school as well as a sense of reverence and respect towards peers. I hope to join this group of enthusiastic young people and become a part of this caring atmosphere. To me, Spellman would be a home away from home. I would be proud to say that I attended Cardinal Spellman High School."
"Let me start by saying thank you for the opportunity to apply to Cardinal Spellman High School. My biggest dream from a very young age was eventually going to a great high school, then college and becoming someone who has learned and experienced as much as possible. I hope these experiences will help me determine the career that would be best suited for me. Now, finally entering into high school, I have become most interested in choosing the special place I would one day like to call my alma mater. Cardinal Spellman has everything I want in a high school."
