From the Desk of Mr. Mike Shukis
Dear Families,
As parents and guardians, we are tasked with making decisions which will help nurture and hopefully keep our children safe. I will always contend that being a parent is the most difficult and rewarding job anyone can ever have, and in our world today, the stress and anxiety that comes with parenting seems to have been amplified. During difficult times, I have never been prouder of our parents as you have continued to act as beacons for your children in guiding them along the path of Christ. Your support of your children, our school, and our community has made this year both enjoyable and successful. I am grateful for all you have done and continue to do to provide your children with a Catholic education. We feel honored to be entrusted with the responsibility to not only care for and educate your children, but to also contribute to the development of their faith. Believe me, it is our shared faith that has provided us the strength and comfort needed to navigate through even the most difficult of times.
Our school community is blessed to be filled with families who support our staff, teachers, and students. I have found that our parents are quick to share words of encouragement and appreciation for our teachers, staff, and administrators, knowing that they are all doing everything in their power to create the best possible learning environment. Please know that our parents and families play a major role in our school’s success, in the guidance of our student’s faith and in the support of Marian Central.
It is my hope that you all will be able to enjoy some time with your family. Take some time to pray together and embrace the peace that comes from building your relationship with God. I wish you all good health, happiness, and minimal stress through the summer, and we look forward to our time together in the fall.
Mike Shukis
Superintendent
