Message from the Board of Directors:
We celebrate another great Cougar success. It is our pleasure to announce that Steve Eubanks will serve as Head of School for Gross Catholic. Steve’s direct responsibilities, as Head of School, will focus on Advancement and Admissions, while maintaining overall leadership for Gross Catholic.
We also celebrate another significant promotion. Hana Abbott, who became Gross Catholic’s Assistant Principal in June 2023, has been promoted to serve as Gross Catholic’s Principal. Hana’s responsibilities will extend beyond the traditional role of Principal, however. Hana has demonstrated true strength in curriculum development, academic strategic planning, as well as financial operations. She will have responsibility for the educational offering at Gross Catholic, as well as Finance and Building/Grounds Management.

Cougar Cup Field Day is HERE!
On Wednesday, March 27, we will hold our 10th annual Cougar Cup Field Day! This is a "regular school day" in terms of school attendance, but we set this day aside for faith and community. We even invited our 50th reunion class, the class of 1974, to join us for Mass and fun.
One thing that makes this day special is our lunch option. HyVee caters lunch for us on Field Day. Students who are interested in a catered lunch on Field Day need to pre-purchase a meal ticket. Each meal is $8. Meal choices include 1/4 lb cheeseburger with chips and an apple; 2 pieces of pepperoni pizza and a breadstick; Sesame Chicken, fried rice, and a crab rangoon. Tickets will be sold Monday, March 18-Wednesday, March 20. Students who do not want to pre-purchase a meal ticket will need to bring a cold lunch that day (no microwaves available, no other vendor).
Please note that the "dress code" for the day is House shirt and sweat/athletic pants. If your student has misplaced or outgrown his/her House shirt, a new shirt can be purchased for $12 in Campus Ministry.
