Mr. Wagner's Letter
Welcome back to Guerin Catholic!
A special welcome to all of the new families joining our community - we look forward to sharing the job of educating and forming your children with you.
The 2011-2012 school year got off to smooth start. Like every other high school in the world, we had some locker glitches, some technology challenges, and some crowded hallways as the deer-in-the-headlights freshmen found their way through the building. But unlike many high schools, we have had positive energy radiating through the hallways and classrooms, and smiling students excited about the new year. (more...)

The parent guild will host a welcome back coffee on Monday, August 22, at 9 a.m. in the media center.

We look forward to welcoming everyone---especially the new parents of Guerin Catholic High School!!

12th GRADE COLLEGE INFORMATION NIGHT
Monday, August 29, 2011
On Monday, August 29, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in the Cafetorium, we will be presenting the annual 12th Grade College Information Night to all parents of seniors and students. We strongly urge both parents and their student to attend this meeting. We will walk you through the application process and offers tips how you can help and support your children. Pending any prior conflict with studying/and or sports activities, all students are expected to attend. Although students will have heard an abbreviated version of this presentation in their classroom prior to the evening's discussion, Monday night's presentation will highlight student & parent responsibilities and expectations. Both parties will benefit from attending together.
We will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. and hope to have you on your way no later than 8:15 p.m.
