    I had an exceptional time at TMLA. Yes the Principal can be very cold, judgemental and honestly a…read moredownright bitch... she certainly does seem to judge people on the way they look (weight) and how they dress (fashion). But she is the only person in this entire school who ever acted that way, and she is not involved in the daily lives of students so it never negatively impacted myself or any of the girls I knew. Every other teacher, dean and student was accepting, willing to help at any time and never once in 4 years did I experience or witness an instance of a teacher "screaming" at a student in the hallways, locker room or "degrading" anyone anywhere for that matter. My best friend (and sister for life) was also heavyset and she never had any instances of being judged by the teachers for being that way. I am very sorry for anyone who has been a rape victim but I also would not expect a high school teacher to be able to "spot the signs" of a rape victim simply because they are women, that is what counselors and therapists are for. My own experience at Mary Louis was wonderful! Yes there are "cliques" but you can expect that in any high school, whether all girl or co-ed, that is honestly just part of the high school experience everywhere unfortunately. If you're able to say that your school had no "cliques" then you're saying that because you were in one and therefore couldn't see that they existed. You only notice cliques when you're not in one! Even with the cliques I never witnessed any girls being bullied in any mean or hurtful way. Normal high school name calling and "catty" behavior maybe. But nothing that would be considered very hurtful. Even with that the deans, teachers and even other students were very quick to put an end to it. I knew three girls (one was my former friend and the other two I knew in passing) who were kicked out for being "bullies". I found the teachers to be phenomenally helpful, the courses were challenging depending on the subject matter and the teacher (it may be time for a few of the teachers to retire, they've kind of "expired"). The college preparation was incredible ...this is the huge gold star I have to give to TMLA. My first two years at college have been almost "easy" compared to the work I was doing at TMLA. I am so very proud to be a graduate of The Mary Louis Academy and I really do feel incredibly sorry for those who feel they had a bad experience for whatever reason and missed out on all the wonderful opportunities TMLA gave to me and my classmates. I am tremendously grateful that my parents were able to send me to TMLA. It was worth every single penny and I will do my best to pay them back by being the best, most independent and giving woman of dignity that I can be. That is the true legacy and product of TMLA.

    I am a proud TMLA graduate. I was shocked to see any negative postings about my alma mater. going…read moreto that school was the best educational experience I ever had. the teachers were awesome. school spirit was high. the girls without exception were bright. I regret not being able to send my daughter there due to distance. Any young woman granted admission is blessed.
