Dear SFHS Alumni,

As we enter the Lenten season, we find ourselves at a unique intersection of our shared traditions: the quiet reflection of Ash Wednesday and the high-energy excitement of our Annual Ensuring Our Future Auction this Saturday (more details on that below!).

For many of us, the distribution of ashes brings back memories of our All-School Liturgies in Spyglass Athletic Center, marking a season of renewal and intentionality. Whether you are observing a traditional fast or simply taking a moment to pause and recalibrate, we wish you a meaningful and prayerful start to this Lenten journey.

We also hope you'll join us for a special Easter celebration next month: our Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Kuhn Memorial Stadium. See more details below!

Tim ‘23 and Sarah '25 Kasprzak recently went on a tour of Italy with the Benedictine College Chamber singers. They made stops to sing in many places including St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, San Trinita Basilica in Florence, and the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi. They also had the opportunity to briefly meet Pope Leo XIV! Thanks for sharing this incredible experience with us!

Congratulations to Gavin Grover '25! Gavin, a freshman pole vaulter for Hope College, is highlighted here for his victory at the GVSU Big Meet hosted by Grand Valley State University.

Garrett Pohl '21 visited Dr. Juliano's Intro to Engineering class this month to share about his career trajectory and experience in engineering! After earning his bachelor's and Master's in Mechanical Engineering from University of Dayton Research Institute, he now serves as Associate Design Engineer at UDRI Space Power Systems. Thank you Garrett for sharing your time, story, and expertise with our students!

It was a truly magical trip down to Orlando for our PVA students! Choir, Rock Band, and Marching Band performed at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios, Disney Springs, and Church Mary Queen of the Universe.

Additionally, our Visual Art students participated in a workshop at Epcot - sketching the iconic Cinderella castle live with a Disney artist.

Thank you to our alumni who were able to stop by and say hello while we were in Florida!
