Congratulations to Abigail Tan, GSA’s 2026 Outstanding Catholic School Graduate!

In memory of Mrs. Serio

It is with heavy hearts that we communicate the news of the passing of Mrs. Catherine Serio, a beloved former teacher in our school community. Mrs. Serio was a member of the GSA faculty for over 22 years, and although she retired in 2022, she gracefully returned this September to once again share her knowledge and bubbling energy with our 7th and 8th grade students and all our staff. Mrs. Serio touched the lives of countless students with compassion, patience, a deep love for literature and theater, as well as a deep commitment to nurturing their growth. Mrs. Serio, a director of our musical theatre program, produced nine spectacular plays bringing to light the talents of hundreds of our students. We are truly grateful for the lasting impact she made during her years of dedicated service. She will be greatly missed by all those whose lives she touched.

We pray that God surrounds her family and loved ones with strength, healing, and hope. May we also find solace in our shared faith, trusting that God is close to the brokenhearted and brings comfort to those who mourn her.

Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

So grateful we at Good Shepherd Academy had the opportunity to be part of the Jubilee Mass for Catholic Schools today 🙏✨. It was such a beautiful celebration of faith, community, and the gift of Catholic education.
