My brother and I both attended Our Lady of Sorrows for 10 years. The education we received was an excellent foundation for the rest of our lives. The rigorous academics taught us to work hard, and that very quality is what helped us both receive full scholarships to several universities. In my opinion, there is no better school in the state.
