Another Shrine Golf Classic Is in the Scorecards!

It was a beautiful day for our golfers to be out on the course at Cherry Creek Golf Club for the 36th Annual Shrine Golf Classic on June 15, 2026!

Our golfers enjoyed a wonderful day of golf, camaraderie, fellowship, and the opportunity to help raise funds for the Shrine Varsity Football Program and the Merit Scholarship Fund. Both programs are an important part of Shrine Catholic Schools and directly benefit our students.

A special thank you to our Shrine alumni who participated as sponsors, tee sponsors, and golfers. We had a tremendous showing from alumni representing the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Your continued support and dedication to Shrine Catholic Schools are greatly appreciated.

Once a Knight, Always a Knight!

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported the event. Your generosity and commitment help make the Shrine Golf Classic a success year after year while supporting the mission of Shrine Catholic Schools.

We look forward to welcoming you back for the 37th Annual Shrine Golf Classic! Until then, have a wonderful summer, and thank you for helping make this year's event such a memorable success.

As we come to the end of the first week of summer, we want to take one more moment to celebrate someone who made an extraordinary impact all year long. Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Jane Frechette, this year's 2025- 2026 recipient of the Shrine Catholic Grade School Teacher of the Year Award.

Through her hard work, dedication to her students, patience, kindness, and loving approach, Mrs. Frechette truly embodies the mission of Shrine Catholic Grade School. Each and every day, she serves as an example of living out our faith for her students while challenging and inspiring them to become disciples of Christ and young scientists.
Mrs. Frechette has faithfully served the students and community of SCGS for the past 25 years. We are incredibly grateful for her teacher leadership, loving presence, and the countless memories she has created — including many cherished 4th grade field trips to St. Anne's Basilica.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs.
Frechette on this well-deserved honor.
We look forward to many more years of her dedication, passion, and impact within our school community.

🏆 Congratulations to Shrine Athletic Director Ben Kerfoot on being named the Catholic High School League's Athletic Director of the Year!

Since 2017, Mr. Kerfoot has provided outstanding leadership to Shrine Athletics, helping our student-athletes grow not only as competitors, but as young men and women of character and faith. His commitment to sportsmanship, integrity, and the overall student-athlete experience has left a lasting impact on our community.

Thank you, Mr. Kerfoot, for your dedication to our students, coaches, and families! We can think of no one more deserving of this honor!

We are incredibly proud of their hard work! Best of luck as they represent Shrine at Forest Akers West at Michigan State University on June 5!

Go Knights! 💙💛

One chapter ends while another begins, and the journey from tiny backpacks to graduation caps starts again.
