"By going to SNG, I kept the tradition in South Philadelphia.  I have met amazing people my 4 years here.  By living so close to school, I have been able to participate and be involved in many school activities.  I have gotten honorable mention in 3 subjects and 3rd place in the City for the Inspired Expression Contest in Art.  I have already applied to Penn State Main Campus, Penn State Altoona, University of Scranton, LaSalle, Temple and Widener.  I've also heard about many scholarships that can help me.  By being in the FACE Program, I have even gotten a letter of Recommendation from the Cardinal"

I choose to come to Ss. John Neumann and Maria Goretti because I knew I could get a great education here.  I know that my Catholic education will help me to get a successful job, raise a family of my own, and will help me to achieve all of the goals I set out for.  During these last 3 years at Neumann-Goretti, I learned that we are not only a school, we are also a family!
