St. Peter Catholic

One of our favorite conversations from this year's Scholarship Lunch came from a discussion with members of the Noto family, whose generosity through the The Gary Noto Golden Opportunity Foundation continues to support the mission of St. Peter Catholic Career & Technical High School.

As we shared the story behind the selection of our Guardian mascot, we reflected on how St. Peter, the first Pope, inspired our school identity. The Guardian draws inspiration from the Swiss Guard, the faithful protectors of the Holy Father and one of the most recognizable symbols of service, loyalty, and dedication in the Catholic Church.

The conversation became even more exciting when we learned that members of the Noto family would soon be traveling to the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. A plan quickly came together as the conversation progressed – to have a member of the Noto family wear one of our new St. Peter Catholic Guardian t-shirts near the Swiss Guard and send us a photo!

Over the weekend, we received this great photo with our St. Peter Catholic Guardian t-shirt standing alongside the inspiration behind our mascot at the Vatican itself.

Thank you to the Noto family and The Gary Noto Golden Opportunity Foundation for your continued support of our students and our mission. We can't wait to see where the Guardians show up next!

Thank you to all the members of our Faculty & Staff for a great year!

Thank you to DiscoverU for coming to campus yesterday afternoon to present to some of our students a number of fantastic learning opportunities for this coming summer.

On Friday afternoon, we held our annual Field Day. The event kicked off with a lunch together, and then we had inflatables, basketball, pickleball, badminton, and even a spirited kick ball game out on the field to celebrate the end of a great school year!

Heading into that last week of the school year like... 😉🤣

Yesterday we celebrated our last Mass of the school year - the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. We ended the Mass with an opportunity to recognize and thank Mrs. Calabrese who after the last two years of being our Theology Teacher and Campus Ministry leader, will be moving onto another school where her young children will be attending. Thank you for all you have done to enrich the faith lives of our students!

Last week, St. Peter Catholic was honored to host our donors and supporters for our 3rd Annual Scholarship Luncheon. We look forward to this event each year - as it is an opportunity for our donors to sit and enjoy a meal while getting to meet and converse with our students. Each year, our supporters comment on how much they love this opportunity, and also to see so many new faces each year as we continue to grow our enrollment. A new feature of the luncheon this year, three students gave reflection talks upon their time at St. Peter Catholic in regard to how the school has helped them grow in their faith, in their academics and learning, and in their friendships and community.

A special thank you to our continuing generous donors who were in attendance and who provided additional funding for the Financial Aid program at St. Peter Catholic. Thank you to the members of the Noto family - representing the The Gary Noto Golden Opportunity Foundation who for the last three years have donated a percentage of their family's annual golf tournament to support our mission. Thank you also to the members of the St Laurence Catholic Church Outreach Advisory Group for their continuing contribution to support our students and our Financial Aid program.

Our Parent & Guardian Association wrapped up our "Tiki Terrific Teachers" week last week with two fun events - a spin the wheel gift card drawing on Thursday, and a hot dog lunch on Friday. They even presented the school with a pinata they had made to represent our new Guardian mascot! Thank you to all the parents who participated and organized such a fun and thoughtful week of activities!
