Hayden Catholic High School

🌍🐾 Open Your Home. Open Their World.

An international student can learn a lot in a classroom, but some of the most meaningful lessons happen around the dinner table, during family activities, and through everyday life.

By becoming a host family, you can help a student experience American culture while sharing the values, traditions, and faith that make Hayden special.

Could your family be the reason a student has a life-changing year?

Contact Hayden Admissions to learn more about hosting. 💙💛

It’s that time of year! Submit your nomination today!

🌎✈️ Where in the World Are the Hayden Teachers This Summer?

Summer adventures are underway, and our teachers are making the most of their time away from the classroom!

Our first stop takes us to Omaha, Nebraska, where our science teacher, Mr. Lee, attended the College World Series and watched Oklahoma take on Alabama. ⚾

Whether they’re traveling across the country, exploring new places, or cheering on their favorite teams, Hayden teachers never stop learning and experiencing the world around them.

Stay tuned throughout the summer as we highlight more adventures in our “Where in the World Are the Hayden Teachers?” series. You never know where a Wildcat might turn up next! 🐾💙💛

🦆🎺 Ducks, Music, and Community Fun! 🎺🦆

Looking for a reason to get out of the house on Saturday? Come visit the Hayden Band students at Laird Noller Ford (23rd & Topeka Blvd.) on Saturday, June 13 from 2:30–4:00 PM during their 65th Anniversary Celebration.

The students will be selling ducks to help support the purchase of band equipment for the upcoming school year. Every duck purchased helps provide resources that allow our student musicians to continue growing and performing at a high level.

Yes, you can purchase ducks through the QR code, but we’d love to see our Hayden families, alumni, and supporters stop by, say hello, and support our students in person!

Come celebrate, support a great cause, and help our band make some noise this year! 🐾💙💛

🌎🏠 Could Your Family Change a Life?

Hayden is currently seeking host families for international students who are eager to experience life in the United States, grow in their faith, and become part of our school community.

Hosting is more than providing a place to stay. It’s sharing meals, traditions, stories, and everyday moments that create lifelong memories and friendships. Many host families tell us they receive just as much as they give.

Our international students bring unique perspectives, experiences, and cultures that enrich the Hayden community and help our students better understand the world around them.

If you have ever considered opening your home to a student, we encourage you to learn more. Your family could play a significant role in shaping a young person’s life while creating an unforgettable experience for your own family.

For more information about becoming a host family, please contact Hayden Admissions. Please share this post and help us find welcoming homes for these students. 💙💛🐾
