Message from the Principal
|
|
Families,
It’s been another busy, yet fantastic week here at Cardinal Ritter High School. Between hosting the kindergarten students from each of the West Deanery schools for our annual Haunted Hallway to our Open House (thank you to everyone who helped make it a success), we’ve been able to welcome hundreds of guests into the building and make them feel at home. Additionally, on Wednesday, a group of students were able to help Indy Catholic Radio raise money for their programming by going on air and share why they believe in Catholic Education and why they chose Cardinal Ritter High School.
Academically, the state is currently in the process of making some revisions to the graduation pathway for students in high school. While the proposed changes are still in draft form, the Indiana State Board of Education will be finalizing these changes in the upcoming weeks. We are working very closely with all necessary stakeholders to ensure that we stay ahead of the curve and will make any necessary adjustments to our programming and scheduling that coincide with the new requirements that the state will be mandating.
As always, thank you for providing us the opportunity to work with your students.
God Bless,
Steven Pelych
