A Message from Mr. Hackenson

Dear Parents, Each day it becomes more and more exciting to see progress on the Parish/Performing Arts Center and Gymnasium! The roof panels have been completed and installation of the side paneling is in progress. Concrete footings at the stage perimeter were also installed. Presently, they are pouring concrete for the Parish Center Floor and Gymnasium men's and women's locker rooms. A finish date has been extended to March 9th. Unexpected delays hindered our January target. Patience is a virtue. Sincerely, Michael Hackenson M.Ed. Principal
