Special Programs:
In Catholic Education it is vital
that we not only educate in the
classroom but also outside the
classroom. The Service Project is
designed so each of our students
complete authentic service,
meaning they are doing an act
of service expecting nothing in
return, only for the purpose of
giving time and talent to another. Each student is expected to
complete 20 hours.

98% of graduates attend
colleges. Recent acceptances
include: Baylor University, Boston
College, Boston University,

Marking System:
Progress reports packets are sent
home 4 weeks into the school
year with login information to

book. Printed reports are sent
out quarterly. The school uses
Power School that permits parents
to log in daily to check on their
student’s grades and progress
throughout the year.
