I had two daughters who attended St John from kindergarten thru 8th grade. While my primary…read moreobjective was to provide a solid, Christian education I found the smaller classes and individual attention prepared my daughters extremely well for higher education. My younger daughter is now a HS junior and is near the top of her class. My older daughter has completed college and is now a working professional. Besides being well equipped to continue their education both girls are deeply rooted in their faith and have a true understanding of the value of service. I am thankful for the instruction and guidance they received at St John during their years there. I would strongly recommend this school to any like-minded parents looking for quality Christian education.

Great new church in Vernon Hills!…read more This is a new campus of the multi-site church known as The Orchard, with campuses in Barrington, Arlington Heights, Northfield, Itasca, and Marengo. Colin Smith is the senior pastor. This church is a bible-believing Evangelical church. See website: www.theorchardefc.org

At The Orchard, our beliefs are rooted exclusively in Scripture. In fact, we don't have much to say unless it comes from the Word of God. We believe the Bible is complete, authoritative, and true for everyone at every time in the past, present, and future. These beliefs drive our decisions and inspire our worship and preaching of God's Word. The Orchard is a place where you can grow in faith, hope and love through the gospel of Jesus Christ. No matter where you are in your walk with God, we'd love to get to know you, and you are welcome here.

I have stayed a parishioner all these years because it has helped me become a better person by reinforcing on a weekly basis the message of good and God. I have also found that with over 60 clubs over the years I have been able to apply my beliefs with the churches PADS ministry for the homeless, the Men's Club(helping create a sense of community with their annual fish fries, baseball games, etc), with Lake County United(addressing issues with affordable housing and mental illness), the gardening ministry(who does not see God's beauty in nature) and in my small bible study/reading group. If you are looking to become a better version of yourself, I encourage you to visit St Mary of Vernon's church and visit with some of their groups:). Remember, you and I are the church and we get out of the church what you put into it. Our faith starts with each of us

I'm agnostic. I need to see it in order to believe it. I don't believe blindly and because…read moresomeone told me to do so. And I swear, the priests and other religious leaders at the church know this about me. It's like they can see that I don't really believe. I feel like a freakin' fraud every time I get communion. But... that is another story for another day. I blame this on whatever Catholic guilt I may have. Anyhoo, if you are going to mass on the big holidays (ie: Easter and Christmas) - get there EARLY. Otherwise, you will have to sit with the latecomers (and the crying babies and rowdy children) in the original section of the church. The church was renovated a few years ago and it looks really beautiful. Thankfully, they do have two large projector screens so you can see what's going on with the mass. You can hear alright back there too, but if you want the real experience, try to snag a seat in the actual church section. On the plus side, the choir is really great. Sometimes, they play upbeat tunes, which gets me out of my sleeping with my eyes open daze. Bottom line, nice church, good choir, get there early to snag a seat. 3 solid stars since I'm not religious, but I can spare the hour to go if requested by family.

I graduated last year and I can honestly say I am glad to have escaped with my sanity. I hated…read moregoing to school here. In my opinion, this place runs rampant with sexual violence, patriarchy and cover-ups. The administration would not keep me safe when I was in an abusive relationship with another boy at the school. They instead blamed and punished me and then told my mom they had 'taken care of the issue'. The boy, by the way, was given a slap on the wrist because he was friends with a certain staff member. Apparently knowing the right people will get you out of most anything at LHS, even assault. The sex-ed there when I was a freshman was a JOKE. It was shame-based and muddled with misinformation, we didn't even learn about birth control or condoms. The administration also paid no regard to talking about sexual assault, it wasn't even mentioned at the mandatory pre-prom assembly. Although they did make improvements about addressing mental health my senior year, after many protests by staff and parents. The safety at LHS needs to improve drastically. I did not feel safe my entire 4 years at that school. It took forever for the administration to acknowledge an order of protection I had given to them. I also felt extremely over sexualized by the staff. I would always be leered at by the older security guards for some 'dress code' violation. It was always implied that some horny boy getting distracted by your outfit was more important then you getting an education. The food also sucks and nothing healthy or allergen conscious is ever served. The absence policy is ridiculous, you only get 10 per semester and after that you have to have a doctors note or you're truant. On a positive note, most of the teachers are great and the art department is awesome, although it lacks funding (it all goes to athletics). Also the staff in the Q-Z LST are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Overall, send your kid somewhere else.
