<strong>Creighton</strong> <strong><strong>Prep</strong>aratory</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s commitment to educational<br />
excellence is shaped by the spirituality and pedagogical<br />
tradition <strong>of</strong> the Society <strong>of</strong> Jesus, founded in 1548 by St. Ignatius<br />

Why did you choose <strong>Prep</strong>?<br />
Good academics and really good sports programs. <strong>Prep</strong><br />
was closer to home and had more people that I knew.<br />
When did you know <strong>Prep</strong> was right for you?<br />
I knew I wanted to go to <strong>Prep</strong> after I shadowed in 8th<br />
grade. All the teachers were really nice and the students<br />
were friendly.<br />
When did it click for you that <strong>Prep</strong> was the right place?<br />
It really clicked for me that I belonged here during<br />
Freshman Retreat. It was a good experience and I talked<br />
to a lot <strong>of</strong> people I wouldn’t normally talk to. It was a good<br />
brotherhood and good relationship with those guys.<br />
