We would like to thank those who attended the Sweetheart Dance! We hope everyone had as much fun as we did! A special thanks to our wonderful volunteers!

St. Cecilia is hosting the Diocese 5th Grade Boys Basketball League this year. This is a huge undertaking that requires lots of volunteers to make it successful. Please plan to work a shift, or two, or three! Money made from hosting this event will financially benefit the school and our student athletes.

PLEASE NOTE: The current dress code does permit apparel from the sports committee spiritwear shop. The dress code was approved prior to the new line of apparel being offered. At this time, we will honor the current dress code for the 2023-2024 school year. We will move to wearing the official school crest only for the following year.

***Additional spirtwear days will be added to the calendar for students to showcase all things St. Cecilia.***

(Items permitted: Crewneck Sweatshirts, 3/4 Zip, Fleece and Sweaters - NO HOODIES!)
