This school year is off to an excellent start and promises to be one that will see historic events unfold.  The excitement and anticipation of the completion of the building project as well as the awareness of a clean and safe learning environment enhanced with state of the art furnishings, textbooks, and technology certainly add to the high expectations.  I too must admit that I share the same excitement and exhilaration at the thought of all the new possibilities that we have before us.

 

Our Catholic school is very blessed to have a multi-talented and vastly experienced faculty and staff that greet each new year with enthusiasm and vibrancy.  This type of enthusiasm, I am proud to say, is always part of our school, and is a beacon of professionalism that shines brightly in all that we do for this community.  With our multiple academic and athletic achievements we see our mission, Catholic Education for Catholic Action, as our driving force in our success.  We certainly are proud that we have achieved the Governor's Award for Excellence, as well as scoring in the standard of excellence in every testing category, which places us in the top 3% of all schools in Kansas.  Additionally we rank number one among all diocesan schools when it comes to academic testing.  These accomplishments are a testimonial to our mission and purpose for the glory of God.  We continuously strive for this type of excellence, and are never satisfied to rest on our laurels.  Our Christ-centered vision provides the foundation for this success.

 

We cannot do this alone.  In order for all of this to come to fruition, we must recognize the generosity of our parish and community.  Countless volunteers, parents, grandparents, and friends offer their time talents, and treasure to ensure this continual success.  We are very grateful to everyone who gives so freely to invest in our mission and vision.

 

So, as we take the next step into this new year we have even greater confidence that we we continue to grow spiritually, academically, and physically for the greater glory of God.  Thank you for all of your support and effort.  We are blessed to have you with us.  We are truly building our future! 

 

With you in Christ,

Bob Lyall
