Cougar Family-

This was a difficult week at Gross Catholic, however I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for the love, compassion, prayers, and financial support you have extended to the young man, Sander Eduardo Gonzalez-Munoz, and his family. Life is truly precious, we all must count our blessings each and every day.

Renowned psychiatrist, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, who specializes in the grieving process said, "The most beautiful people I've known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and struggled their way out of the depths."

Having generous hearts, showering others with kindness, and living lives of service and compassion are the qualities which make our Gross Catholic family special. Thank you for being true difference makers.

With Blessings-

Stephen P. Eubanks

--We are truly grateful for the incredible generosity we've seen from our Cougar Family. However, we want to inform you that someone has attempted to exploit this kindness by setting up a fraudulent Venmo account using Gross High School and a photo of Gonzalez.

If you're looking to make a donation, please double-check the Venmo account you are using. The correct Vemo account is: Gross High School @Gross-HighSchool Include description: Gonzalez

Sophomore Retreat. Sophomores have been assigned a retreat date (Nov. 12, 13, or 14). This year's retreat theme is Come Hungry. Students may wear jeans or sweats with an appropriate top. A cereal buffet will be served for breakfast, and lunch will be beef nachos. If this menu does not work for your student, please bring a sack lunch (microwaves will NOT be available). Students should bring a refillable water bottle and should plan to participate in retreat from 7:40-3 PM.

Accreditation survey. As part of our Cognia accreditation process, we ask that our parents answer two surveys per year to measure the effectiveness of transmitting our Catholic mission, implementing best educational practices, and engaging students and their families. 

The following information may be helpful in answering the survey:

1. The school's mission statement - Gross Catholic High School is a faith and family based community committed to developing Christian leaders through educational excellence in the Marianist tradition.

2. Once a month, when students have the day off, our faculty and staff gather for two hours of faith formation followed by six hours of professional development and strategic planning to ensure that we continue to provide top notch education for our students.

3. Our school board and administration oversee all decisions, from financial to what activities and classes we offer. Their goal is to adequately provide opportunities for diverse learners in a changing world.

Please follow the link below to complete the parent survey. This survey will remain open until Monday, November 11. 

Upon completion of the survey, you will be redirected to a page which will ask you to print or screenshot the screen for a casual clothes day for your student.

This month's theme is GRATITUDE. Join us (and Jesus) for adoration, praise and worship, and Confession. 

Feel free to invite a friend or family member.

OPEN HOUSE

If you have children in elementary or middle school, please stop by! It would also be great if you could share this information with family, friends and neighbors who are exploring their options for high school. This is a come and go event from 11am until 2pm, with short presentations at the top of each hour.
