our gifts strengthen our mission to reflect Jesus the Teacher, so we may form students in a loving
and challenging Catholic environment where the individual gifts of every student are recognized, celebrated and developed as a reflection of Christ. Angels plan and participate in weekly Masses and fortify their faith formation throughout the year with opportunities to pray the stations of the cross and participate in the sacrament of reconciliation, adoration, celebrations, retreats and the HS mission trip. Angels make an impact by volunteering and supporting diverse church and community programs, providing more than 30,000 hours of community service each year.
School level PTOs raise funds for school projects every year, including facility renovations, new technology, and all new interactive display monitors for elementary classrooms. The COVID -19 pandemic made technology more important than ever and gifts provided funding for 100 student Chromebooks to help ensure all students have computer access on campus or at home. Gifts to STEM and fine arts programs help provide materials and equipment that foster remarkable Angel talent and curiosity.
Athletic and Booster Club support provides enhancements for every sport, including help with team travel expenses and new equipment including a golf simulator, golf powerchute, softball carts and screens, and two Pixellot camera systems for livestreaming events.
