Catholic High School Visits

Please note the following for all visits:

All students come to school at their normal time, and the high schools send buses to pick up the students.
Masks are required for all students for all visits.
Attire for all students for all Catholic High School visits is Mass dress attire, but the brown dress shoes are not required. On the school visits, they have our students play either indoors or outdoors, so we are allowing the students to be in Mass attire, but with athletic shoes for these visits.

The tradition of the Presentation of the Mums is for the parents to bring the mum to their child and pin it on them. This will happen with all families doing it at the same time.

Homecoming Game and Class Dinner - Thursday, October 7th

The game will be played at 4:30PM on the school field - we will be playing St. Laurence Catholic School. All school families are invited to attend and cheer on the team.

Following the game (at approximately 6:30PM) - 8th grade families and their children (8th grade or other St. Cecilia students) are invited to stay at school and move to the pavilion area for a casual picnic style dinner.
The dinner is only for the 8th grade families, their students, and younger St. Cecilia student siblings.
Dinner will be available for all attendees. The school will cover the cost of the dinner for the 8th grade students (covered in the 8th grade fee and the students will do their own meal ordering via a separate online form). Parents and younger siblings will need to pre-order their meals online prior to the event. Please click here for the online form to pre-order the dinners for parents and siblings. The school will also provide water for all attendees. Families can also bring their own drinks and while we have many new picnic tables outside, are also encouraged to bring camp chairs as well for additional seating.
The deadline to submit your pre-order is Monday, October 4th
