<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 />

Loyola. <strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> strives to educate the whole person:<br />

intellectual, religious, social, emotional and physical. Faculty<br />

<strong>Creighton</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> course <strong>of</strong> study provides a balanced and<br />

traditional curriculum <strong>of</strong> preparation for college studies. Every<br />

student will be challenged, in an effort to advance him from<br />

good to great, and from great to outstanding. Our graduates,<br />

regardless <strong>of</strong> where they began, will find themselves prepared to<br />

enter, compete and succeed in college. Our system has over 450<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 />
