A Note from the
President & Principal

Dear Saints Families, 

It was another fantastic week to be a Saint! We celebrated Ash Wednesday Mass as a school community this week to begin our Lenten journey together. We pray this season is a reflective and transformative time for you and your family.

Looking ahead, we are excited to accept our incoming Freshmen Class of 2027 next Friday! As you may remember, the joy of opening that email and packet is thrilling. Please keep these families in your prayers. 

 

Go Saints!

Pick Up & Drop Off

Parents, please be sure not to block traffic in front of the school during pick-up and drop off times. We have received several concerns that vehicles are using the oncoming lanes to get around parked vehicles on the street. This is causing a safety issue.
