Senior Scholarship Letters

The Guidance Center is collecting each and every scholarship letter awarded to our seniors.  This includes the institutions your child did not select to attend.  Please have your senior bring these letters to their Guidance Counselor (we can make copies if need be) as soon as possible.  These scholarships will be listed in the Graduation Program under your child's name.

Daily Reflection 

Loving Father, if I awakened today wondering what will be, may I look for the guidance of Your Spirit in me. If today I experience loneliness, may Your Son's compassion fill the emptiness. If in body, mind, or spirit is pain, may I turn to You for hope sustained. If the answer to a prayer occurs, may I be grateful that every prayer is heard. If I fail to seek You in all that I do, may the desire to serve You be renewed. Amen.
