Help market our school!

A recent National Catholic Educational Association parent newsletter focuses on how parents can help market Catholic schools.

If you know of a family who has school age children, you can fill out the Catholic Schools Referral Form and the diocesan school department will contact them with information about Catholic education.

Recycle your paper!

Drop off papers to be recycled in either of our Paper Gator bins.  One is located in the parking lot adjacent to Father Flohe Field; the other is located next to the gymnasium.  The school receives money for the papers, so don’t throw them away!
