Fifth grade teacher Marcie Steel with her students.
Our best marketing comes from word of mouth, especially from our students. Just ask any one of our students at Good Counsel school, and they will tell you how much they love it here.
Watch a video of our students discussing their experience at OLGC.
“I think OLGC is a good Christian place because we always talk about how good God is to us and ask ourselves, “What would Jesus do?” We talk a lot about our faith and why it is important to us.”
“One of the most important things that I could never trade about Good Counsel School is the memories. The memories I have now of all the beautiful May Processions with each girl in the class in their dresses and the boys in their suits, or of Confirmation when I was surrounded by people I know and the teachers who have left some kind of mark on each of us. These are the things I would have missed if I went to any other school.”
“We start and end each day with a prayer and we practice Christian values in our classrooms, the hallways and the schoolyard.”
“This is a good Catholic school because we go to church, we care about others, we support one another and we do a lot for each other. Most importantly, we follow God.”
“I like Math because it is sometimes challenging. I like subjects that are hard to do.”
“I like the pasta at lunch because I’m Italian and it comes with two sides so that doesn’t make me hungry until I get home.”
“If I had not been a student at our Lady of Good Counsel School, I would have missed a lot. I have the privilege of being involved in so many different activities such as Battle of the Books, Student Council, Cheerleading, and the Yearbook Committee. OLGC is more than a school. It is a family with the kind of love that you can only have after being with a group of people for eight years.”
“There are so many people here who care about you. They teach us how to be better young men and women.”
“My favorite part of the day at OLGC School is library, because you get very smart by reading lots of books.”
“My favorite part of the day at OLGC School is journal because I like writing and drawing pictures. It’s very fun and sometimes you get to share your journal with the whole class.”
“When I graduate from OLGC, I get to take many things with me. A great education is definitely part of it, but great friends, good memories, and good times are also a part of it. We have tests, but our teachers make sure we are ready for them. If we have questions, they have answers that will help us take our tests, but their answers will prepare us for life, too.”
“My favorite part of the day at OLGC School is religion because I like to learn about God.”
“Our Lady of Good counsel School has given me a very good education and a positive learning environment that can only be experienced here. I felt like I was part of a family. Good Counsel School has given me the tools and motivation to succeed in life.”
“The one benefit I would miss the most if I attended a different school is the community here. Every student is like another family member. We look out for each other and are there for each other.”
“What I like best about my teachers at OLGC is that they make learning fun and easy.”
“What I like best about my teachers at OLGC School is when you mess up they will get you back on track and help you.”
“The teachers offer a unique learning experience because they can integrate religion into every class.”
“The best part of being a student here is the SPIRIT everyone has, and it really shows during Catholic Schools Week.”
“I have been going to OLGC since nursery school and I always feel like I’m spending the day with another family.”
“From Nursery to eighth grade, I’ve always loved OLGC, and I wonder what my life would be like without it.”
“I have had many memorable moments, such as receiving the sacraments and the fun I have had. I am thankful to my parents for sending me to OLGC.”
“We do things in a unique way. I know from seeing other people that these events are so special that they bring people to tears. I can tell that what we do at our school touches the hearts of many people and that is not something you can get at many other schools.”
“At Good Counsel, we are taught to be good Christians, and you really can’t really get that anywhere else. I am glad that I went to Good Counsel. I honestly think I am a better person because of it.”
“I’ve been at OLGC for eight years and so far waht I like best is the activities we are able to participate in, like Drama Club, Just Do It, Art Club, Media Club and more. I go to school with a lot of great students and teachers and I think my teachers are a good influence on me.”
“Mrs. Burnham has had a huge influence on me. When I was having trouble with match, she helped me so much and made my confidence in math go way up. She is a great teacher and we are lucky to have her.”
“A person who has had a big influence on me is Mr. Pizzi because he influences me to read the Bible.”
“One person who made me feel different about school is Mrs. Callanan, because she found ways to make learning fun.”
“The person who has been the biggest influence on me is Miss Sullivan because she knows how to get things done right.”
