Hear Something, Say Something Tip Line

Salpointe Catholic has a “Hear Something, Say Something” Tip Line at (520) 547-1954. This tool offers a vehicle for parents, faculty, staff and students to help the school maintain a safe environment and provide for the ultimate health and well-being of our students. The line is not a crisis line or hotline. It is anonymous and allows the caller to text or leave a voice message. The messages are checked daily and credible reports are investigated and acted upon appropriately.

For our family, there is a one word answer to the question: Why Salpointe? and that word is COMMUNITY. The Salpointe Community is made up of dedicated and passionate faculty, staff, coaches and clergy; it is the supportive Lancer student body and it is the caring network of families. The Salpointe Community unites – it comes together to prepare each and every student for a lifetime of learning and a generosity of spirit in service to others.

Red-Tailed Hawk ‘Lance’ Returns to Salpointe After Rehabilitation

A red-tailed hawk, affectionately named “Lance” by Salpointe High School students and staff, returned home in time for the holidays. The hawk and its mate have lived in a nearby pine tree for years. About a month ago, Lance got caught in a soccer net on the school’s field. After being freed by grounds manager Jim Armstrong, the hawk was badly injured and unable to fly. The Tucson Wildlife Center treated and rehabilitated him, and after a month of care, he was released back on the field, where he flew straight to his pine tree to reunite with his mate.
