Over the course of two days, our community gathered for two award ceremonies and two graduation ceremonies, honoring our Eighth Grade class and our High School class of 2026. Each event was a testament to the hard work, faith, and character of our students and the families who have walked alongside them.

Register your child for a 2026 summer camp in Lakewood, Ohio. Our summer programs help kids and teens grow in their Faith, deepen friendships, and cultivate virtue. Dance, sports, tennis, art and more are offered!
