FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here is all the information that you need to know but don’t really want to ask!

Can students really wear ANY socks they want to school? YES (as long as they are appropriate)

Do the girls mostly wear skirts or pants? While we see the girls wear both, many of the girls opt for the plaid or khaki skirt. We tend to see more plaid skirts but it is your personal preference.

Who goes to the dances? What do they wear? HOCO Dance is for the Upper School students and THEY ALL GO! It is a super fun time and everyone wants to be there. The girls usually wear a cocktail-style dress while the boys wear jackets and slacks (a great way to see what the students wore last year is to look on social media)!

Junior/Senior Prom is for juniors and seniors and all the juniors and seniors attend. Dress for prom is typically a longer dress for girls and a suit or jacket/slacks for boys.

Do you have to buy all the t-shirts that are offered for sale? Throughout the year we will have t-shirts designed for special occasions. Most of the students purchase the special t-shirts if it applies to them but not all the students buy them. It completely depends on if your students like the shirt and if they will wear it later!

Where do the kids park? Seniors park in an assigned numbered space in the Senior Lot which is on the Utica side near the Upper School gym entrance.

All other drivers park around the baseball field and west of the Senior Lot. There are plenty of parking spaces for all drivers. Students can start driving to school as soon as they have their licence.

What is Minimester? Minimester is a unique experience that takes place throughout the month of January and is a chance for students to experience their potential future. Juniors and seniors explore month-long intense internships while freshmen and sophomores explore the Minimester Catalog filled with a variety of experiences. Minimester is for ALL Upper School students and is an exciting experience where a grade is earned and a life is changed.

What is Caritas? In keeping with the Augustinian core values of Truth, Unity, and Love, members of the Cascia Hall community respond to the call to service. Christian Service is a concrete way to put faith into practice. In addition to classroom work, service hours are a graduation requirement and all students participate in Caritas Connection. Your student will receive this information after school starts.
