Celebrating our first Celtics of the Month of the school year!🌟

Congratulations to our September recipients, recognized for exemplifying the virtue of Catholic Believer.

We are so proud of the way these Celtics live out their faith and reflect what it means to be a part of our St. Hedwig community.

A Golden Pineapple Moment🍍

Some of the biggest gifts come from the tiniest Celtics.

This week, Isabella in TK1 received a special Golden Pineapple Award from Mr. McGuinness for the joy she brought to Mass this past weekend.

Mr. McGuinness and his wife spotted Isabella singing and praising God with the biggest smile on her face—and even nudging her dad to join her in dancing along to the music. 🥹

What a beautiful reminder that our faith is meant to be lived joyfully, and sometimes our littlest Celtics show us exactly how it’s done.

Keep shining and sharing that joy, Isabella! ✨🍍

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Mary’s birth marked the beginning of a beautiful story of faith, hope, and God’s plan for salvation. May her example inspire us to say “yes” to God with trust, humility, and love.

Happy Birthday, Blessed Mother!

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. 🙏

Today, our faculty and staff became CPR and AED certified!
At SHS, the safety of our students and school community is always a top priority.

We currently have two AEDs readily available on campus, and as we continue to strengthen our emergency preparedness, we would love to add additional AEDs throughout campus to ensure one is always within quick reach when every second matters.

If you or your business would be interested in donating an AED, contributing toward the purchase of one, or connecting us with an organization or company that may be able to help, we would be incredibly grateful.

Together, we can continue making SHS as safe and prepared as possible for our students, faculty, staff, and community.

Welcome to St. Hedwig, Mrs. Naranjo!

We are so excited to welcome Cynthia Naranjo to the St. Hedwig Catholic School family as our new third grade teacher!

Mrs. Naranjo brings 10 years of elementary teaching experience in both Catholic schools and the Long Beach Unified School District, teaching students from Kindergarten through fifth grade. She is especially excited to return to third grade—a grade level that holds a special place in her heart!

She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies from San José State University, her Master of Arts in Teaching from Santa Clara University, and her California Clear Multiple Subject Teaching Credential through Mount Saint Mary’s University.

Outside the classroom, Mrs. Naranjo enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring Orange County, relaxing at the beach, trying new restaurants, and cheering on Notre Dame and the San Francisco 49ers.

We are so happy to have Mrs. Naranjo joining our Celtic community and look forward to a wonderful year of faith, learning, growth, and partnership with our students and families.

Please join us in giving her a warm St. Hedwig welcome! 💚
