We Made It! As we wind down this most unique year, we want to take a moment to thank all of the students, faculty, parents, and friends that worked together so diligently so that we could be open for inperson learning every day. We pulled it off! Our graduating class is leaving for 51 different schools in 24 different states, and taking $16 million in scholarship money with them. Our returning students are heading off to countless workshops, study programs, and internship opportunities. No matter where the summer takes you, remember to keep the faith and leave a mark of kindness behind you. God Bless and Go Eagles! - Sondra Morris, Principal
There has been some discussion nationally that students have suffered due to this pandemic. But, quite frankly, I think they have gained enormous emotional strength and emotional intelligence throughout this year. Our students witnessed a devastating experience but they also witnessed all of us banding together and overcoming fears and conflicts to survive and carry-on. Our children learned that when difficulties happen the answer is to have faith, tenacity, optimism and cooperation, and situations will improve. They observed their parents, teachers, administrators and their friends collectively working together towards the common goal of keeping our schools open. I believe that these students will be able, throughout their lives, to draw upon this experience and put in place what they have learned as they are faced with other life crises. - Dr. Colleen Butterick, Director of Counseling for Diocesan Catholic Schools
