General Announcements
Catholic Schools Week Honorees
Last week, we honored the students who are the “heart and soul” of Salpointe Catholic High School, not those in the spotlight, but those who quietly and profoundly shape our community every day.
They spark meaningful class discussions, lift others with kindness, and bring warmth and positivity wherever they go. Their presence is invaluable, making our school a true community of love, faith, and service.
What we admire most is that they seek no recognition, yet they are essential to Salpointe’s fabric. They remind us that impact isn’t about being the loudest or the best, it’s about showing up with grace, integrity, and a generous spirit.
We hope you enjoy the heartfelt words our faculty shared about these incredible Lancers.
Sincerely,
Kay and Ardemis
