Message from Mrs. Petersen
Dear Shepherd Families,
As the school year ends, I want to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of you. THANK YOU for your continued support for our school. As we reflect upon this school year, we can be thankful for what a blessed school we have! We have witnessed a school community of teachers, parents, and parish community members working together to provide positive learning experiences for our students. Our students’ accomplishments result from everyone's interest, concern, prayers, and hard work.
I would like to recognize and thank the Shepherd of the Hills staff who will not be returning next year. They have served our school community faithfully and will be missed. We wish them well!
Mrs. Jodie Baumhardt - Art teacher
Mrs. Nubia Torres - Spanish teacher
I have said this before and will say it again: “I am truly blessed to be taking over as the new Principal of Shepherd of the Hills Catholic School.” The dedication of the staff can be seen every day in the work they do in their classrooms with the students.
Parents, we realize that you have a choice when deciding where your children will be educated for their preschool, elementary, and middle school years. Thank you for choosing to have your children attend Shepherd of the Hills. I wish you all a fun, safe, and healthy summer vacation and I look forward to a new school year with new beginnings.
Blessings,
8th Grade Graduation
Congratulations, Graduates!
