During Catholic Schools Week, our students participated in Eucharistic Procession. This activity is a beautiful expression of our love for Jesus and reminds us of our spiritual journey toward eternal life with God. We are celebrating all the reasons why being at a Catholic School is so special. "SMA has soul. You feel it the minute you walk in the door. It emanates from the chapel in the middle of the school, thrives in the faculty and staff and lives in the students. As a parent of students there, this is the type of faith-based environment I want my children to learn and thrive in." - Rob Rastorfer, SMA Parent

Celebrate Catholic Schools Week with our Annual Fun Night including Dodgeball for Diapers and Mr. Guardian Contest! Start the evening off with our Chipotle fundraiser which can be carried into the Commons area before the festivities kick off. It's sure to be a good time!

Being challenged academically while growing stronger in my Catholic faith, is something that I do not take for granted." – Ms. Kroening, Principal #CSW23 #CatholicEducation #walktogether
