Today, we celebrate the intersection of grit & growth. We are proud of all of our student-athletes— with special recognition today to our young women who dominate the court & the classroom. From late-night studying to buzzer-beaters, your hard work & discipline are building a foundation for a lifetime of leadership.
🌟 Celebrating the Entire Team
Behind every great athlete is a network of support. Today, we also recognize the female leaders —the coaches, athletic directors, & officials—who work tirelessly to create opportunities & inspire the next generation to play big.
Let’s celebrate the power of sports to build confidence, character, & community! 🏆

Last week, we hit a massive milestone: 100 days of learning, laughter, & growth! Our students celebrated in style, & it’s safe to say they've aged... well, quite a bit! 👵👴
Here’s a look at how we marked the big 1-0-0:
Centenarian Chic: We were joined by some very "distinguished" guests as students dressed up as 100-year-olds—canes, curlers, & gray hair galore!
Wearable Art: From 100 dinosaurs to 100 pom-poms, the creativity on our custom 100th-day T-shirts was off the charts.
The Great Hunt: Our learners put their literacy skills to the test during a special 100-clue ELA scavenger hunt.
Sweet Success: We practiced our counting skills by threading 100 Fruit Loops to make some delicious (& colorful!) necklaces. 🥣
We are so proud of everything our students have accomplished so far this year. 💙💛




Huge congratulations to our champions from this year’s Knights of Columbus Hoop Shoot! Our students showed incredible focus, grit, and sportsmanship at the free-throw line.
We are so proud of everyone who participated, and a special shout-out to our division winners who are officially moving on! 🏆
Next stop: District Finals in March. Let's keep that momentum going!




A massive congratulations to our 6th-grade superstar, Cory, who has officially been crowned our School Champion! 🏆 Cory will be moving on to represent Jordan at the Scripps Spelling Bee Regional Competition.
Let’s hear it for our amazing spellers in the comments! 👇

Today was a powerful day of reflection as we focused on Celebrating Vocations. Our hallways were a sea of gray as students participated in a "Gray-Out" to show our united support for those answering God’s call. ✝️
It was a beautiful, faith-filled day centered on the heart of Catholic education:
Vocations Scavenger Hunt: Students explored the school to learn more about the different paths of service & the lives of the saints. 🔍
Wisdom & Witness: We were blessed to spend time speaking with our Sisters & Friars, hearing their inspiring stories & learning about their journeys of faith. 🙏
A Moment of Peace: We centered our hearts by spending time in Adoration, bringing our school community together in prayer & gratitude. 🕯️
Days like today remind us why Catholic schools are so special—we aren't just growing in knowledge, we are growing in purpose!
Jaguars in the Spotlight: 🐆 Our daily series continues! Check our feed to meet more staff members who help guide our students on their own spiritual journeys.



Today we reflect on God’s call in our lives. We celebrate the priests, sisters, and laypeople who lead us in faith and show us what it means to serve. 🐆✝️
Don't miss our final spotlight tomorrow!

Today was Celebrating Our Students day, and the energy in the building was electric! We honored our Jaguars with a well-deserved day of fun, laughter, and school spirit.
It was been a jam-packed day of celebration:
Casual Dress Day 👕 (Comfy Jaguars are happy Jaguars!)
Special Lunch 🍕 (A delicious treat for our hard-working students.)
Minute-to-Win-It Games ⏱️ (The competition was fierce!)
Surprise Flash Mob 💃 (Nothing beats an all-school dance party!)
The highlight of the afternoon? Our 8th Graders vs. Teachers Volleyball Game! 🏐 Let’s just say the teachers had a bit of a "growth spurt" as they took the court in hilarious blow-up costumes! 🦖🎈 It was a match we won't soon forget.
