Black History Month
Black History Month is a welcome time to learn about and celebrate Black American culture. Throughout February look for reflections and more from the Black Student Union the first of which will come from Alyssa Brathwaite '22. "I have many different identities that all impact me in different ways. But, the most impactful gift my identity as a Black person has given me was authentic friendship."

Parent Survey and Focus Groups |
|
The Board, faculty, and staff of Carondelet High School are engaged in a comprehensive strategic planning process for the school to ensure that Carondelet maintains the highest standards for our work and is responsive to the changing needs of our school community.
We invite you to complete this parent survey which is designed to elicit your views of Carondelet as parents of current students. Specifically, we are interested in hearing about your perception of the student experience, the parent experience, and ways in which we could enhance both.
In addition, if you wish to engage in a focus group to express your views about Carondelet, you are invited to register for one of three limited sessions to be held via Zoom in March. Focus group sessions will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Willing to share your time and talent? |

We’re looking to recruit a team of parent/guardian volunteers to help us keep our campus beautiful. If you have a professional design background or extraordinary eye for creative improvement projects, we need your expertise. Consider joining us for the the launch of Carondelet’s volunteer Beautification Committee.
The purpose of our beautification committee is to leverage the expertise of volunteer design experts and professionals to enhance the campus landscape and existing facilities. Our goal is to create more attractive, flexible, and workable environments through design and imaginative use of resources to create environments that inspire, comfort, and motivate school students, faculty, staff, and volunteers.
If you are interested or intrigued, please reach out to Terri Meehan to express your interest. Our volunteer chairperson will follow-up with you to discuss our vision and approach.
