Graduate (Class of ’89):
“I am continuously grateful that my parents chose St. Martin’s for my elementary education. There I was guided by nurturing teachers, allowed to grow spiritually, and given the privilege to interact with an intelligent and diverse group of students. St. Martin’s gave me the excellent academic and social background to excel in junior high and high school. Now as an honors student at the University of Denver, working toward a dual degree, I look back on my six years at St. Martin’s as the crucial foundation for my academic success.”
Graduate (Class of ’87):
“My experiences at St. Martin’s are some of my favorites. I have only good memories of my friends and teachers and I remember so much of what I learned there. I always think fondly of my years at the school, and I enjoy going back and visiting my old classrooms, and the teachers that I had. I hope when I have children, I can find a school similar to St. Martin’s for them to attend.”
Graduate (Class of ’86):
“St. Martin’s is not only a school of great academics, but also a school with nurturing, caring teachers. I feel St. Martin’s helped prepare me, not only for junior high and high school, but for life. They reinforce good qualities and morals in their students. My experience at St. Martin’s was wonderful and full of fond memories. When speaking of the school, I do so with pride and honor.”
Graduate (Class of ’70):
“Over thirty-five years after first attending St. Martin’s, I’m still in touch with some of my classmates. Several of my former teachers remained in contact for the rest of their lives. St. Martin’s has proven to be more than a school. It’s a community we’ve carried with us into adulthood.”
St. Martin’s Parents:
“Our children have grown and flourished in the wonderfully academic, supportive and caring environment that is St. Martin-in-the-Fields.”
