Note from the Principal
It's Catholic Schools Week! A huge thank you to Carlos Pla with the Knights of Columbus, our wonderful HSA, and NJHS student ambassadors for their work at our Open House yesterday. The CSW full schedule is attached to this email. I hope to see many of you at our Open House and Family Pizza tomorrow.
This is the LAST WEEK for re-enrollment before the fee increases from $125 to $150 per student. Please complete your re-enrollment on TADS by January 31st to avoid increased fees.
Have a wonderful week!
