It was wonderful to celebrate Cornerstone Day on April 17th, an occasion to honor those who have contributed to what Curley is today, 62 years after that Dedication Day. Let me join in thanking you for what you are contributing today to the Curley Family, to the spirit of this school, and to the Brotherhood which both students and alumni appreciate. Thousands of individuals have been involved in this effort to build the Curley tradition, and so there is great reason to give thanks.

I am sure you have seen news reports on the “Seek the City” pastoral planning of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. No doubt a good number of Curley families are experiencing the emotions of their own home parish being affected. This plan has nothing to do with schools, neither parochial nor archdiocesan high schools. Curley is a site for the meeting on April 25th because there is a large gathering spot to meet, and a large parking lot, not because Curley is being discussed. Go HERE for a FAQ on how schools are not involved in “Seek the City.”

We have hosted a number of special events recently from the Mother-Son Dance to Cornerstone Day. The Choir participated in the Spring Choir Camp and the Curley Bands are heading to Nashville for the annual Band Trip. The Freshman Class traveled to the Museum of the Bible and various student groups have enjoyed some other field trip experiences. In all of these ways, these students are making memories. I want to thank all of the parents who have been involved and supported these programs. 

There is much more to come. Upcoming events include the Fresh/Soph Semi-Formal, and the FYM Underclassman Retreat. From there we enter May, which is a very busy month on our school calendar.

I am grateful to you for all you do to help make the Curley experience meaningful.

We are at the midpoint of the 4th quarter for seniors, and one week away from midpoint for underclassmen. The A.P. Exam schedule, the Senior Exam schedule and the Final Exam schedule will be posted over the next two weeks. Please remind your son(s) to check Plus Portals on a regular basis and to see their teacher(s) if they have questions. I also encourage them to see their teachers for extra support and help if they are struggling in any of their courses. The 4th quarter is very short for our seniors, making this even more important. My door is always open if they ever need anything.

All Mission-4-Service hours must be submitted on the Google Classroom designated for Mission-4-Service by April 22, 2024. If you are concerned if your son has submitted his hours, you can ask to see his Google Classroom page. You can also email Friar Chris with any questions. Any student who does not submit their service hours by April 22nd will receive a significant academic penalty in their theology class and will become ineligible until successful completion of their hours.

As a reminder, Archbishop Curley High School will be initiating a Bring Your Own Windows Device (BYOWD) program for all incoming freshmen in the Class of 2028.

Under the BYOWD initiative, students in the Classes of 2025, 2026, and 2027, may choose (but will not be required) to bring their own Windows device to school starting in the fall. A flier with all of the specifications can be found HERE. Curley has partnered with Whiteford Systems as our school's designated vendor. If you wish to order a device through them, then please note that the ordering portal is now open: https://whitefordsystems.com/curley. This portal closes on April 30th. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our Technology department at support@archbishopcurley.org.

Now is the time to plan your summer camps! At Curley Summer Camps our goal is to provide fun, well-supervised educational and recreational activities for our campers. Our coaches and instructors are the key to our success, and they can't wait to coach, mentor, and teach your children this summer. Detailed information on all camps can be found HERE.
