Reminders & Announcements 

Hair accessories

It has become necessary to state a school policy for hair accessories to be worn with the school uniform.  Beginning Monday, October 28, wide cloth hair bands, kerchiefs, and sweatbands may not be worn with the school uniform, gym uniform or spirit uniform. Hair bands may be no wider than 1 inch and embellishments should be minimal and not distracting  - no lights, sounds, “ears”, antlers, sports insignia, etc.   Flowers or bows are permissible at this time, as long as they are not distracting. 

From Bishop Stang

Bishop Stang; The Future is Yours commercial

Bishop Stang Spartans are well-prepared to excel in all of their future endeavors but most especially in college classrooms! The Bishop Stang Class of 2019 was no exception as collectively they earned over $24 million in scholarships and grants, had above average testing scores with 99% of them currently attending a variety of outstanding colleges!  

The Bishop Stang Open House on Sunday, November 3 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm is a great opportunity for families of middle school aged students to learn more about the advantages of a dynamic faith-based, college preparatory high school and how Bishop Stang specifically builds on this strong foundation to inspire students to excel in learning and life! For more information or to pre-register for the event, visit the Bishop Stang Difference webpage

Please pray for our school, our students, and our families.  

Peace in Jesus and Mary,
