Utah Catholic Schools

Graduation season is a special time across Utah Catholic Schools as we celebrate faith, achievement, and the bright futures of our seniors. 🎓

This past week, two of Utah’s three Catholic high schools — Judge Memorial Catholic High School and Saint Joseph Catholic High School — gathered with students, families, faculty, and friends at the beautiful Cathedral of the Madeleine to celebrate Baccalaureate Mass ahead of commencement exercises taking place this weekend.

We also look forward to celebrating the graduating seniors of Juan Diego Catholic High School as their Baccalaureate Mass and commencement ceremonies take place this coming week.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! May you continue to lead with faith, serve with compassion, and carry the values of Catholic education into the world. We are proud of each and every one of you. ❤️💙

Congratulations to the Saint Joseph Catholic High School seniors! 🎓

Saint Joseph Catholic Elementary School students cheered on the graduating seniors during a special Grad Walk through the halls. It was a beautiful moment of celebration, encouragement, and Catholic school pride as younger students got to see what their future can hold.

What a meaningful way to honor our seniors and inspire the next generation of Jayhawks! 💛💚

🎉 Congratulations to the students at The Madeleine Choir School for doing an amazing job in the national Latin and mythology competitions. We love seeing Utah Catholic school students work hard, have fun learning, and earn recognition for their accomplishments.

Way to go, MCS students, and a big thank you to Magistra Claire Oberle for all she does to support her students. ❤️💛

We love seeing our high school students proudly repping their future plans, favorite colleges, and big dreams. Moments like these remind us that Catholic education helps prepare students for bright futures ahead. 🎓💙
