Vegas Strong: 7th Anniversary of 1 October
Next Tuesday, we will pause to remember the 58 lives lost during the 1 October shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, marking the 7th anniversary of this heartbreaking tragedy. As a community, we reflect on the impact this day had on so many and continue to offer our thoughts and prayers to the families and loved ones affected. Let us take a moment to honor the victims, stand in solidarity with the survivors, and hold close the strength of our community in the face of such loss.

Parent Teacher Conferences take place October 8th-10th. Click below to sign up!
This year our Parent-Teacher conferences will be held during the week of October 8th-11th. All students will be dismissed at noon each day during conference week. One of the many reasons Catholic education is so effective is because of the outstanding support of parents and the dedication of our teachers. Together, our main focus is to help our children reach their full spiritual and academic potential. We look forward to this opportunity to meet with you and to review your child’s first progress report.
