The weeks are getting busier as we approach the final month of school! Graduation is just 4 weeks away, with the end of the school year a week later. Please encourage your sons and daughters to continue working hard as the end of the semester nears. Notices will be sent home next week to students in danger of failing a class. Please check Schoology and encourage your students to seek help from our faculty (they are available 30 minutes before and after school) if needed. 

Thank you to all who have registered for the 2025-2026 school year. This is a great help with our planning. If you have not yet re-enrolled, please do so as soon as possible. Award letters were mailed today to students who are enrolled.

Prom is next weekend, and SADD is hosting week of safe driving awareness activities for our high school students. Good luck to our students competing at the State History Day competition on Sunday, and our FFA students competing at the State Convention Monday and Tuesday!

Finally, we held Pope Francis in our prayers this week and said a decade of the rosary for him at the end of Mass today. Please keep him, and the Cardinals choosing his successor, in your prayers as he is laid to rest tomorrow.
