We are proud to celebrate our Spring 2026 MAP results! 📈 Across every grade level, from Kindergarten through Grade 8, Saint Columbkille students scored above the national average in both math and reading.

The NWEA MAP Growth test is a nationally normed assessment that adapts to each student and helps teachers understand what students know and what they are ready to learn next.

These outstanding results reflect the hard work of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the support of our families. Congratulations to our entire school community! 💙💛

July 31 marked the conclusion of Fr. William P. Leahy, S.J.’s incredible 30-year tenure as president of Boston College. We join the Boston College community in celebrating his remarkable legacy as he becomes president emeritus, the first person in University history to receive this title.

Fr. Leahy’s leadership played a critical role in establishing our partnership with Boston College 20 years ago and has continued to support our school’s growth. This year, we were proud to induct him into the Saint Columbkille Hall of Honor in recognition of his commitment to our school and Catholic education.

Congratulations, Fr. Leahy, and thank you for all you have done for our community!

Believe it or not, students in our “All About Boston” Summer Enrichment Program traveled back in time to Revolutionary War-era Boston!

With this year marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, it was the perfect time to explore life in the 1700s and the fight for independence through interactive games, skits, and crafts. Students wrapped up their adventure with a visit to iconic sites along the Freedom Trail, where they saw the stories they studied come to life!
