Today is our last day of school. As we close another wonderful school year, we thank God for the blessings, friendships, lessons, and growth that filled our classrooms each day. Today, we celebrate the accomplishments of our students, the dedication of our faculty and staff, and the support of our families who make our school community so special. As summer begins, we pray that everyone enjoys a season of rest, joy, and renewal in God’s love. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11
Congratulations on a successful school year, and may God bless you throughout the summer! 🙏🏼☘️

Today our 1st graders enjoyed the beautiful weather at the John Ball Zoo.

What a special day for our students. Former Hackett Catholic Prep student, Preston Cosby, blessed our students with autographs and quality time at the Growler’s game today.

This was a special moment. Preston Cosby (Growlers RHP) saw his former school system at today's Education Day and had to say hi 🙂

He stopped his gameday prep routine, walked into the bleachers and signed autographs for every kid.

Cosby is a native of Portage, MI and attends school at Lake Michigan CC.

Shoutout to Preston for taking the time to inspire kids sitting in the very same bleachers where he once dreamed of his own goals.

Education Days presented by Milk Means More bring so many communities together 🙌

Today we said goodbye to our graduating class of 2026. “Be who you are meant to be, and you will set the world on fire.” - St. Catherine of Siena

The St. Monica Parish Knights of Columbus, represented by Mr. Melluish, sponsored an essay contest for our 7th and 8th graders. Our students had to answer this question: “Being a citizen of the U.S. is a gift from God. What can I, in gratitude to God, do for my country now and in the future?” Our Knights chose three 8th grade winners: Alice, William, & Ricky. Congratulations to our winners and thank you to our St. Monica Knights of Columbus for sponsoring the contest. 🙏🏼☘️🇺🇸

If our students met our $30,000 fundraising goal for the Shamrock Shuffle, the top earners from each class would get to ‘silly string’ Mr. Pierucci. We are pleased to announce we met our fundraising goal again, thanks to all of our generous donors. 🙏🏼☘️

Yesterday in 6th grade Home Economics, we hosted Brandon Hutson. He is a Notre Dame alum and
Financial Advisor II, from Petersen, Hutson, Smith Wealth Advisors. He came to talk to our class about wants vs needs and the power of compound interest. Thank you to the guests and volunteers who contribute to the M.O.R.E Factor. 🙏🏼☘️
