During the last week of January, Catholic Schools Week was celebrated by all the Catholic grade and high schools of the area. Catholic Schools Week marks a week full of school spirit. The theme of this year's celebration was "Raise the Standards," providing a call to action for all members of the Catholic education community including students, teachers, and parents. 

One celebrated event was the first annual Senior Tile Decorating Day. During this event, a number of Senior students designed "Legacy Tiles" that will be displayed at the school forever.
