Crusader Connection You Did It! Happy Last Day of School!

As soon as the County stay at home order is lifted, we will establish and communicate a schedule for returning school materials and gathering personal items. So don’t shut down the computer and ignore our emails!

While the second half of the school year was a different journey than planned, we are so proud of our Crusaders (both our students and parents). You did remarkably well these last few months! Congratulations on all of your hardwork and determination.

Graduation will be held during the week of July 12th for the Class of 2020 at the Crusader Stadium, the 1st outdoor graduation in years for Lancaster Catholic.

We hope everyone has a happy and healthy summer and we hope to see everyone soon!
