As the days get longer, the snow starts to melt, and signs of spring start to show, it is important to remember that there are still three months in the school year. Teachers continue to prepare good lessons, students are working hard, and learning is always going on at Gross Catholic High School.  Seniors are seeing the end of a high school career and want to wrap it up early.   This is a time in the school year when students may tend to let their spring fever get the best of them and grades may slip.  This is a time when students need to make that final push through to the end of the year. It is important that students continue to work hard and learn all the way through May.  

Our staff continues to work hard to improve our instructional strategies to provide students with a college preparatory education. The staff at Gross Catholic started the year off talking about objectives. Setting learning objectives has been proven to be one of the most important strategy to use when starting a lesson.  This strategy helps students understand what key concepts or skills they are should have at the end of a lesson. The objective should be specific enough to give students a clear idea of what is to be learned during the lesson but not describe a specific learning activity. It should be broad enough to allow for different learning styles and different student outcomes.  We are working to make sure students know what the expected learning outcome is for a specific lesson. Setting learning objectives is a great way to make sure students are engaged in learning and are aware of what they are supposed to be learning.
