During Christmas break is a good time to reflect on the previous semester. It seems like just yesterday we had a new group of freshman entering the doors of Gross Catholic. It has been a successful fall semester. I would like to thank the students, staff, parents and community members who contribute so much in helping to create an atmosphere of excellence at Gross Catholic High School.     

We have had a productive beginning to the academic year. Staff and students are engaged in teaching and learning in the classrooms. The fall athletic season was very successful and winter sports have begun. We have had musical celebrations and a great fall musical. There are many activities that our students and teachers continue to be involved in during the school year.     
 

Many of our students, both as individuals and as members of clubs, generously give of their time, talent and money to help ensure the holidays are enjoyed by all. They work with families in need to donate food baskets and gifts, share time with senior citizens and participate in other activities all in the spirit of bringing in the new year with hope and compassion.     
 

It is my hope that you were able to spend the Christmas break with family and friends, and that you come back this semester rested, rejuvenated and ready to learn. I wish you a very Happy New Year.
