Today, we honor and thank the incredible women who show us the meaning of love, sacrifice, and strength. Whether it's through their support, guidance, or prayers, mothers shape us in ways that last a lifetime. As a Catholic school, we look to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as the ultimate example of faith, courage, and compassion. May her intercession bless all mothers today and always. To all moms and mother figures—thank you. You are deeply appreciated. |

All students will need to turn in their MacBook no later than the end of their last exam. For seniors or students who are not returning, transcripts will not be released until it is turned in!

Turn-In Dates: - Wednesday, May 21st after the 6th period exam in the PAC
- Thursday, May 22nd after the 7th period exam in the PAC
If you would like to turn in your MacBook before the 21st, please take it to the PC computer lab next to the STEM lab. If you have decorated the MacBook in any way, that will need to be undone.
