Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
As I reflect on the 2021-2022 school year, I feel both proud and grateful. We have been blessed with the support of our parents and benefactors as we strive to enrich our curriculum and our school community, and I want to express my deepest appreciation for your support and partnership.
I have many reasons to be proud of OLSH this year. I am proud of the prestigious list of colleges and universities to which the Class of 2022 has been accepted. I am proud of the more than 8,000 service hours our students have reported and the quality of the service they are doing. I am proud of the Gene Kelly nomination, forensics trophies, section championships, WPIAL Championships, and PIAA Championship team. In fact, the list of academic, athletic, artistic, service, and other honors that our students have brought to OLSH are so numerous that I couldn't begin to list them all.
Thank you to our OLSH parents who give from the heart time and time again. You build the set for our musical, feed our student-athletes, show up to support your children at athletic, academic, and theatrical events, and volunteer at the “drop of a hat” for any number of an amazing array of events that go on throughout the school year. Your support of our faculty, staff and coaches is something for which I am truly grateful.
Thank you to our faculty, staff, coaches and administration who work so hard, and with such passion, for our students. It is through their tireless efforts and support, in the classroom, on the stage and on the field that our students are provided with the tools for success in college and the workplace, and as Christian leaders in our society.
Thank you to our students who have achieved so much this year. We’ve seen them grow in so many ways. They have grown in their faith and become more actively involved in our liturgies and in service to the community. We’ve watched them grow academically, as they become stronger students and choose to challenge themselves with AP and Advanced course offerings. We have seen them grow in character, making good decisions and stepping up as leaders.
To the OLSH Class of 2022, I extend my sincere congratulations on your academic achievements and graduation. Your OLSH diploma demonstrates what you can do through hard work and dedication and tells the world that you have received a well-rounded Catholic education filled with the best that high school has to offer – academics, activities, athletics, theater, faith and service.
We are encouraging all of our teachers to take the summer to rest and enjoy some stress-free time with their families. We hope that you also find time to rest, relax, and enjoy the summer months.
Sincerely,
