Principal's Message - June 8th

Happy Wednesday!

This is a very special week for us at Holy Rosary. We say goodbye to the 8th graders and wish them a bright and exciting future ahead. They are moving on to a variety of high schools and I know that the foundation we have created at Holy Rosary will put them on a path filled with knowledge, curiosity, and a deep spiritual faith. Here is a list of our graduates for 2016:


Josselyn Gomez-Soto

Sylvan Igisomar

Erandy Montes

Michelle Perez-Garcia

Saul Talavera

Juliana Tran

Kha Tran

Ekaterina "Kate" Wood


We are proud of them. If you are available, please join us at the graduation Mass on Thursday at 9 a.m. to wish them well!


Have a great week!


With Blessings,

Katie Dempsey
