DeMatha

A good Catholic high school in Maryland that contrary to many of these definitions, is NOT all about sports. The school has two Blue Ribbons for Academic Excellence awarded by the U.S. government, once in 1984 and again in 1991. If they were so terrible academically, why would they have won this award TWICE?

The sports teams are great because the school is all-MALE. Instead of a co-ed school with maybe 500 potential male athletes, DeMatha has 1,000 young men. It's simple math, not recruitment.

DeMatha rivals Gonzaga in academics and sports.

"What's that Catholic high school near the University of Maryland? You know, on Route 1?"

"That's DeMatha, they're always winning the WCAC."
