St. Raphael Academy

principal richard (richards? cant remember tbh) came to the school my sophomore/junior year, and he was completely awful. he was extremely strict, gave hour-long after school detentions (originally in which, students werent even allowed to do homework) for very minor offenses, took away things students enjoyed, and made the dress code so strict that girls couldnt even wear yoga pants in gym class or leggings on dress-down days (gotta love when patriarchal, full-grown men find teenage girls bodies to be inappropriate)! him and baxter (i believe she was the vice principal? i remember that she was a little nasty, but fortunately, i didnt have many experiences with her. apparently though, she is quite horrid, and disrespectful to students) really destroyed the social climate/overall vibe of the school. the female principal we had before him was so much better in so many ways... hopefully he retires soon so someone else like her can take over! i believe baxter has already retired, but hopefully she will soon as well if she hasnt. i just remember being really unhappy there once the school changed. i was angry a lot, and always tense and worried that id get in trouble for some other stupid thing. i felt like we were always being watched, and that all students (not just the ones who deserved it) were seen as guilty suspects who were most likely doing something wrong. i loved some of the teachers, some the buildings are really nice and historical, and the cafeteria food was really good.

i graduated class of 2015, and the male principal and female vice principal of academics (who both still work here) at the time were horrible and unfit for their jobs. they were so obsessed with what underage female students could and couldn't wear that it was honestly uncomfortable. the principal made the dress code so that girls could no longer wear leggings, yoga pants, or jeans that were ripped at the knee (among other things) on dress down days, nor during gym class. imagine having a problem with 14-17 year old girls wearing yoga pants during sporting activities... *shudder*... however, he seemed to have no problem with the impossibly short skorts the cheerleaders wore, of course! i would not send my daughter to a school where this man has any authority. i'm still creeped out. LOL
