Each January, while the Seniors are on pilgrimage to the March for Life and the 9th-11th graders are on retreat, the Junior High is in charge! Parents and faculty come together to offer a variety of fun classes that teach types of ‘life skills’ and hobbies that students may diving into.

Student started the day with the Spelling Bee, where 8th grader Noah C. earned the top spot but Grace H. and Virginia Z. gave him a run for his money!
