Class of 2022 

Celebrates Achievements

  Our seventh grade class of 2022 celebrated their final Mass together as a class on May 24, followed by an awards and promotion ceremony. 

This year has been challenging, we have all grown tremendously from being part of this community. From recovering after a major hurricane, to the ins and outs of multiple quarantines; from the ball field to our backyard; from the auditorium stage to the mountains of North Carolina; we have experienced so much together. We have formed friendships that will last a lifetime, grow academically, and spiritually and have learned how to be boys and girls for others.

We congratulate each member of the class on their outstanding achievements! All students were accepted to their High School of choice! We are so proud of you!
