End of Year Principal's Message
Greetings!

Happy June! These busy past 6 weeks were filled with celebrations, awards, and traditions as we conclude another outstanding school year. We honored students for academic achievements and community service, thanked Villa parents for their volunteerism, and recognized faculty for milestone years with our school - all in addition to days filled with classroom discoveries and experiences.

It is with sadness that we say good-bye to our graduating 8th graders and the families who will leave our extraordinary St. Ursula Villa community. We wish them well as they begin new chapters in their educational journeys.
