A call-out meeting for Guerin Catholic's Rocket Club is scheduled for Tuesday October 9th at 7:00 pm., in Mrs. Kennedy's room. Parents and students are asked to attend.
The Rocket Club involves building and flying model rockets in a variety of formats and competitions. It is also all about solving engineering problems, particularly in a team format. The Club is aimed at students interested in STEM (Science / Technology / Engineering / Math), but diverse needs of the Club include those who would pursue community outreach / marketing, aesthetic styling of the prototypes, documentation / website, and other non - STEM functions.
Last year's club was successful in qualifying for the TARC National Fly off and even won the presentation competition. We look forward to building on the success of last year's team.
Students interested in learning more should see Mr. Kirkwood or Mrs. Kennedy.

Athletic Updates
Girl's Golf
The Girls Golf Team season has come to a close. It was a terrific season! The team competed in 17 matches, and came away with only two losses for the season. The GCHS team had it's strongest season to date from a dual match standpoint. Individually the Guerin Catholic girls posted the low Medalist scores in over 70% of our matches (that's a testament to the individual improvements for our team). The team finished 4th out of 12 teams in sectionals, and had a team member compete as an individual in regionals. We especially recognize the accomplishments of our two seniors who were strong leaders both on and off the golf course: Kara McDonald and Nora Sego. We look forward to welcoming back the remaining players next year: Sarah Baxter, Mariah Callon, Rachel Cockman, Maggie Kroeff, Maddie Lorek, and Lucy Stevens. We are very proud of the entire team for their commitment to the game of golf and for being such good representatives of GCHS. Special thanks also go to Coach Mark Mathews!
Football
Good luck to our Golden Eagles who take on Brebeuf tonight at 7 pm at Guerin Catholic. Watch live on the
