A message from our principal
Congratulations to the following HFCS alums who graduated from Nolan Catholic High School on Sunday, May 21, at College Park Center, University of Texas at Arlington. We are very proud of them!
Casey Chambers, Whitney Churchill, Daniela Hannah, Christian Head, Serenity Healy, Madison Rotzoll, Brandon Saucedo, Dylan Castillo-Souder.
Thank you to all who attended our graduation on Friday, and making it such a beautiful ceremony. Special thanks to Mrs. Pierce and Mrs. Brittain for their hard work.
I would like to invite all of you to Fr. Jeff's final HFCS Mass, to be held this Friday, May 26, at 10:15 a.m.
This has been one of the best school years in my career as an educator. I want to thank the teachers and staff, families, Father Jeff and staff, and especially, our students, who have been taught to lead others closer to Jesus. Learn, Serve, and Lead!
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
