From the Principal's Desk

Dear SHS Families,


Sunday will mark the start of National Catholic Schools Week. It is a special week each year that we spend celebrating our identity as a place where we can grow in both faith and reason side by side. Such a beautiful gift is worth celebrating, and even though our Sunday celebrations will need to be pushed out to February 2nd, I am excited to spend this week together in faith, gratitude, and joy for our special little school.


Has your family completed its survey to participate in the school’s accreditation process? If not, there is still time to get your voice heard, as results will go to help shape future priorities and go into the ongoing accreditation process of the school. Survey information can be found in this newsletter, or you can refer to my January 14th email. Thank you for your participation.


Don’t forget to sign up for the SHS Trivia night slated for Saturday, January 31st. Registration is due at the school office on Friday. It is a fun time to be had by all, and I hope to see you all there.


With Faith & Hope,

Patrick (P.J.) Greer

Dear SHS Families,


We value your voice and invite you to participate in our upcoming community survey, which will open on January 14 and close on January 30.

Your participation is essential in helping our school better understand the perspectives, experiences, and priorities of our families. The feedback you provide plays a vital role in guiding our ongoing school improvement efforts and helps ensure we are meeting the needs of our students and community.

In addition, this survey is an important component of our school’s accreditation process through our private accreditors, Lumen. Community input is a key part of demonstrating our commitment to reflection, growth, and excellence in education.


We encourage all families to take a few moments to answer the following questions. Your insights truly make a difference, and we appreciate your continued partnership and support.


The survey can be found on the "Community Survey" button below
