Spring Sports Senior Night Due to the current weather and impending forecast, we will be unable to hold our Spring Sport Senior Night recognizing all of our senior spring sport athletes tonight. We will honor those athletes and their parents on Monday, May 9th, at the senior awards night (6:30pm in the SBA Dining Hall). We regret the inconvenience and hope that all senior athletes and their parents will be able to attend. Thank you for your patience.
The Commercial Appeal is sponsoring its “MEMPHIS MOST” competition and nominations will be taken through May 9. Please go to memphismost.com and vote for St. Benedict at Auburndale High School in the private school category and continue on to the Bartlett and then Cordova local page to also vote for the best private high school. Certainly, you can vote in other categories, but be sure to vote in these three categories for SBA - only one ballot per person. This process will determine the top nominations and then they will have a final vote. We’ll keep you posted when that process begins. SBA was one of the top schools overall and the top school in Cordova and Bartlett last year. Let’s keep the streak going.
