I love the overall environment at Alverno, which includes my teachers, classmates and the education I am receiving. From the moment I began the application process, I immediately felt accepted and included by everyone.  It was difficult to start high school during this pandemic, but many older students reached out and asked me if I needed their help. My older sister also attended Alverno, so I have been a part of the community since I was 3 years old.  To now be an official Alverno girl feels like a dream come true!
