Hard As Nails
Here's what Freshman, Edie Stickell had to say:
"It was so cool to see the conversion of hearts happen right in front of us. Seeing people I know whose lives were being changed in the moment was amazing. The presence of God was so tangible; it was like He was giving us all one big hug!"

Junior Prom Dues
The prom tradition at Saint Louis Catholic High School is for the junior class to gift the senior class with paying for prom. As juniors, the dues you pay cover the price for the location, decorations, and music. This also means that you will pay nothing your senior year.
Dues are $50 and need to be turned into the office by February 4.
