We were both delighted—and surprised—to receive the Fully Alive Full Formation Distinguished School of Excellence Award for the 2025-2026 school year. According to the Catholic Advance, this award recognizes schools that focus on educating the whole child—spiritually, physically, intellectually, and emotionally—where every child is safe, healthy, engaged, supported, and challenged.

To apply for this honor, we completed an extensive application addressing several areas: Spiritual Formation, Physical Wellness, Intellectual Growth, Emotional Wellness, Student Engagement, and Challenge to Grow. What a beautiful blessing to receive this award during Catholic Schools Week!

This recognition truly reflects the “village” it takes to educate our children in every aspect of their lives. From our priests, to every faculty and staff member in both the school and parish, to our parents and students—we are all walking and working together in mission. Mr. Allen and I are profoundly grateful for the dedication, faith, and commitment each of you brings to our school community.
