Announcements

The Pastor, Principal/Admin Team, School Board, School Leadership Team, and Faculty are very dedicated to continuously improving our school. We would really appreciate your feedback on the St. Louis Catholic School experience. Please take a moment to complete our annual survey for the school found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScTCBNwLZNs26cWIp1qXmAYTJbYSwawjtTFx6b-qaL3tM4AxQ/viewform?usp=header. It only has 10 questions and should not take too much time, but will provide us with the information we need to celebrate our successes and work on areas that need improvement.

Please remember to pick up any medication that is in the school office before the end of the school year. Anything not picked up will be discarded. All medication must be picked up by the parents. We will not send medication home with students.

Cleaning out closets? Please consider donating your used uniforms back to the school for the annual used uniform sale at Back-to School events in August. Feel free to drop off your CLEAN uniforms to Paul Walker in the school office before the end of the year.

Last call to order a 2024-25 yearbook! Orders are due by May 15, 2025. The yearbook is sold as a pre-order only. Books will not be sold at delivery.

We’re sending our heartfelt gratitude and warmest wishes to Ms. Leiza Collins, who will be leaving St. Louis Catholic School at the end of this school year to be closer to her grandchild in Georgia.

A certified music teacher with a bachelor’s degree
