"What
I love most about Chaminade is seeing our mission being realized - to Love, Learn, and Lead."
Mr. Guerra's Welcome Message
Dear Chaminade Families,
I hope your summer is off to an excellent start! This season offers our community a precious opportunity to rest, relax, and rejuvenate, nurturing our bodies, minds, and spirits. Taking this downtime is essential for maintaining our well-being and balance. With plenty of summer still ahead, I encourage you to embrace these restorative moments if you haven’t already.
While the first day of school is still over a month away, I’m excited to be among the first to welcome you to the 2025-2026 academic year! Our annual summer newsletter is packed with vital information to help you prepare for the return to school. Please review it carefully—it will guide you to start the year strong.
Welcome to what promises to be an exceptional 2025-2026 academic year. I look forward to seeing everyone in August!
God bless, Mr. Guerra
