​As summer fades and the excitement of a new school year begins, our community came together for an incredible Welcome Week, filled with fun, faith, and fellowship. This year’s Welcome Week events provided a warm and supportive environment to ensure that our students and their families feel right at home.

New Student Orientation: A Day of Discovery
New Student Orientation provided incoming students with the opportunity to explore their new surroundings, meet teachers, and connect with their peers. After a quick breakfast and introductions, students were given locker assignments and walked their class schedule. We are thrilled to welcome such an enthusiastic group of new faces into our school community!

Family Picnic: Building Community
The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the Family Picnic. Parents, students, and faculty gathered on the school lawn to share a meal and enjoy an evening of back-to-school fun. It was a perfect chance for families to get to know one another, introduce themselves to teachers, and learn about all the different activities, departments, and happenings of our school.  The sense of community and togetherness was palpable, and the laughter shared during the picnic set the tone for the rest of the school year.

Special Opening Day Schedule and Schoolwide Mass
On the first official day of school, students and staff followed a special schedule to accommodate a beautiful schoolwide Mass. Students learned about our school’s values and traditions before participating in team-building activities. Coming together in prayer, we reflected on our shared mission for the year ahead, asking for guidance and inspiration as we embark on this academic journey. The Mass was a powerful reminder of the faith-based education that lies at the heart of our school’s identity.

Get Involved: Join a Club!
One of the best ways for students to make the most of their school experience is by getting involved in extracurricular activities. During Welcome Week, students were encouraged to explore the various clubs and organizations on campus. Whether their interests lie in academics, sports, the arts, or service, there’s a club for everyone! We encourage students to sign up for a club (or two!) and dive into new opportunities to grow, lead, and make lasting friendships.

As we move into the academic year, we’re excited for all that’s to come. Let’s keep the Welcome Week spirit alive by staying connected, supporting one another, and making this school year one of our best yet!
