Testimonials

From our Students
"The staff at Beckman Catholic is phenomenal; creating a space where students are safe, happy, and valued. Beckman Catholic is truly more than a community but a family! Without the phenomenal staff at Beckman Catholic, I wouldn't have gotten out of my comfort zone and excelled in scientific research through the FFA and science clubs. There is seriously no better place to be than Beckman with their neverending support." Jasmyn Hoeger, Class of 2022

"Beckman feels like a family and there are so many activities to get involved in." Kayla Funke, Class of 2021

"Beckman Catholic High school is like a supportive family. There are so many opportunities to learn and grow in our faith together, making us stronger. Here we can make strong friends that help lead us to holiness." Anya Westhoff, Class of 2022

"Beckman Catholic is no ordinary high school filled with individual students. Beckman Catholic becomes home and the people become family. Over time, the unfamiliar faces turn into friends and gradually turn into family. The relationships between teachers, coaches, janitors, classmates, club members, and teammates have shown me the true meaning and values of a community. At Beckman, the faculty genuinely cares for the development and progression of each student. Teachers are eager to spend extra time to fulfill a student's needs and ensure their understanding. Guidance counselors provide knowledge, experience, and assistance for future goals, whether it may be attending college or the workforce. I have developed deep connections with my classmates that will make it hard to leave this school that I call home. At Beckman Catholic, we support each other in all that we do and stand together as one." Jadyn Welling, Class of 2021
