High School
On May 28, 2010 the 8th grade class said a fond farewell during a beautiful Graduation Mass.
Many of the students have been accepted to Selected Enrolment High Schools, such as Lane Tech, Northside, Walter Payton, and Whitney Young. Not to mention all the amazing acceptances to Catholic High Schools, such as Loyola, St. Ignatius, Gordon Tech, and many more. Our students have even been invited to take honors and double honors classes. We wish them all successes and happiness in high school

| Incoming 7th and 8th Grade students are expected to read two books. Students will be expected to make posters or Powerpoints related to their books. The posters or Powerpoints must show major story events and information about the characters. Students will present their posters or Powerpoints the first week of school. | | | Summer Reading Hints - It is sometimes helpful to keep notes on the main characters and the highlights of events in the story to refer to before you take your test.
- It may also be helpful to note things about the character who interested you most, or events in the story that puzzled you.
- Consider what you might suggest if the author asked you what could be improved in the story.
- Have fun reading!
