Strengthening Our Faith



September: Grateful for Family

October: Grateful for Mary the Mother of God/Respect Life

As September draws to a close, we conclude our month of gratitude for family and prepare to embrace our October theme: Grateful for Mary, the Mother of God, and Respect Life. These two themes are beautifully connected through the gift of life, the importance of family, and Mary's example of unconditional love and faithfulness to God's will.

As we transition into October, we are reminded of the words of Psalm 127:3: "Certainly sons are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward." Our families are among God's greatest blessings, and Mary's loving acceptance of her role as the Mother of Jesus reminds us of the sacredness and dignity of every human life.

This week, we continue and conclude our Novena to St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower, whose Little Way teaches us that even the smallest acts of love can make an extraordinary difference. Her example is especially meaningful as we reflect on the generosity of our students and families who participated in Make A Difference Day this past Saturday. Through their willingness to give their time and talents in service to others, they put the Corporal Works of Mercy and St. Thérèse's teachings into action, demonstrating that we can share God's love through simple acts of kindness and compassion. Their service also provides a beautiful bridge between our September theme of Gratitude for Family and our October focus on Mary and Respect Life, reminding us that every person has dignity and every act of love matters.

Our liturgical celebrations this week offer additional opportunities to strengthen our faith. On Tuesday, we celebrate the Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the Archangels. We especially remember Gabriel's announcement to Mary and her extraordinary response: "May it be done to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38). Mary's willingness to embrace God's plan provides a beautiful foundation for our October focus on honoring Mary and respecting the gift of life.

Wednesday brings the Memorial of St. Jerome, whose devotion to Sacred Scripture reminds us of the importance of making God's Word a part of our family lives. On Thursday, we celebrate the Feast of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus (St. Therese of Lisieux or the Little Flower), followed by Friday's Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels, reminding us of God's constant care and protection. We conclude the week on Saturday by honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary.

As we enter Respect Life Month, may we follow Mary's example by saying yes to God's will, cherishing our families, protecting the dignity of every human life, and recognizing that even the smallest acts of love can make an extraordinary difference.

Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. St. Thérèse of Lisieux, pray for us.

Student Council Induction Mass

On Friday, October 2, at 10:00 a.m., the Catholic High community will gather to celebrate our Student Council Induction Mass. During this special liturgy, we will formally recognize our Student Council members as they begin their commitment to serving and leading our school community.

As we celebrate this important occasion, we are reminded that true leadership is rooted in faith, humility, and service to others. We ask our Catholic High family to keep these student leaders in their prayers throughout the school year.

IMPORTANT: All students, both boys and girls, are expected to wear their proper Mass attire on Friday.

Make a Difference Day: Crusaders in Action!

This past Saturday, the Catholic High community came together for our annual Make a Difference Day! More than 400 students and over 50 parent volunteers generously sacrificed their Saturday to lend a helping hand, completing 28 service projects throughout our local community.

We extend a heartfelt THANK YOU especially to Mrs. Rita Lay who planned and coordinated all details of the day and to everyone who participated, volunteered, and helped organize this incredible day of service. Your willingness to give your time and talents is a beautiful example of our Catholic faith in action and what it truly means to be a Crusader.

As we conclude September's theme of Grateful for Family, we are especially grateful for our Catholic High family and its commitment to serving others. Together, you made a difference!

Photos from M.A.D.D. will be uploaded to our website throughout the week. Scroll to the bottom of this linked page and look for a link to Make a Difference Day. Photos will be added to that page as they are received.

Homecoming Plans

Homecoming is one of Catholic High’s favorite traditions—a chance to welcome alumni back to campus, celebrate our students, cheer on the Crusaders, and enjoy the spirit and fellowship that make CHS such a special community.

This year’s Homecoming football game is Friday, October 9, and the celebration begins with our annual Homecoming Tailgate Party at 4:00 p.m. in the South End Zone. Join us for an afternoon of food, fellowship, and Crusader pride before we head into the stadium at 7:30 p.m. for the big game vs. Freeport HS!

To make the tailgate a success, we need help from our Catholic High parents! A SignUpGenius has been created with several volunteer opportunities still available:

• Decorations – 4 spots remaining
• Food Prep – 7 spots remaining
• Clean Up – 14 spots remaining

Whether you can help prepare beforehand, serve during the event, or stay a little later to clean up, every volunteer plays an important part in making Homecoming special for our students, alumni, and guests.

Homecoming is a celebration of everything we love about Catholic High—our traditions, our school spirit, and the relationships that connect generations of Crusaders.

Mark your calendar for Friday, October 9, and please consider volunteering. Together, we can make Homecoming 2026 a memorable celebration for the entire Crusader family!

Congratulations to the members of our 2026-27 Homecoming Court!

8th Grade Visitation Day

On Tuesday, September 29, Catholic High will welcome eighth-grade students from Little Flower Catholic School, St. John the Evangelist School, and other local schools for the third of our five 8th Grade Visitation Days in 2026!

Our guests will spend the morning experiencing life at Catholic High, getting a firsthand look at the academics, faith, traditions, and school spirit that make our community special.

From our Crusader Band and cheerleaders to our Student Ambassadors, faculty, staff, and student body, everyone has an important role in making this a memorable experience.

We encourage all students to put their best foot forward on Tuesday. A friendly smile, a simple hello, or a helping hand can go a long way toward making our visitors feel at home.

Let's show these future Crusaders what it means to be part of the Catholic High family!

Chicken Biscuit Day



A Catholic High morning favorite is back again! Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit Day returns this Wednesday, September 30, from 7:00–7:40 a.m. in the Gym.

This week’s Chicken Biscuit Day is sponsored by our Girls Lacrosse Team, with all proceeds helping fund their upcoming season. Students can grab a Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit before the school day begins for $5 each — or, as Mrs. Mel so famously likes to remind everyone over the PA, “2 for $10!”

Chicken Biscuit Days will continue throughout the Fall, giving students a chance to enjoy a quick breakfast while supporting our Crusader teams and organizations.

Come hungry Wednesday morning, Crusaders, and help support Girls Lacrosse!

Athletic Eligibility Requirements

The athletic eligibility requirements for 2026-27 can be accessed on our school website.

Physicals are good for 1 year or 365 days from the date the physical was conducted. Athletes will not be able to compete in any event, contest, or tryout unless they have a physical on file with our CHS Compliance Office that is current and covers the competition period. All physicals for 2026-27 must be completed on the new EL2 form. Please fill out all sections of the EL2 form that apply to you prior to going in for the physical.

Athletes also need to update or create their online clearance each year. They will not be permitted to participate in an athletic contest without a current Athletic Clearance. Instructions for this process are located on our website. Information from last year will not auto-populate, so students must provide their health insurance information, name and the phone number of their primary care doctor and preferred hospital in order to complete the clearance process. Our athletic compliance department will meet with all Winter Sports athletes on Wednesday, Sept. 30 immediately after school to assist them with completing their Athletic Clearance. Attendance is mandatory for anyone wishing to play a winter sport.

A new requirement became effective on July 1, 2026. All freshmen athletes, and any other student-athlete who has never played in an FHSAA sanctioned sport, must receive an ECG screening. A completed EL1 Form and the results of the ECG screening must be submitted to the school prior to the student participating in any event, contest or tryout. If the ECG result indicates an Abnormal or a Borderline ECG, the student will not be allowed to participate until the parent and doctor fill out and submit an EL1/2S Form, indicating a Normal ECG or a Normal Variant.

Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) Deals

The FHSAA has created a resource page for any student-athlete wanting to learn about the recently approved NIL bylaws. It is imperative that any athlete that enters into a NIL deal/contract adhere to these bylaws to the letter. They are also required to submit a completed Form GA1 Affidavit of Amateurism to the Athletic Compliance Department within five (5) business days of signing a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreement.

Hallow Prayer App

The Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee has entered into a year long partnership with Hallow, the world's number one Catholic prayer app. If you're not familiar, Hallow is a free app (with a paid premium subscription level available) that is designed to help people pray. The Rosary, Scripture reflections, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, numerous other devotionals and unique prayer campaigns, often led by celebrities, are all available through the app.

Millions of individuals use it and have been drawn into consistent habits of prayer due to it. Many credit their use of Hallow with a decision to come into full communion with the Catholic Church.

For more information, click here.

Click here for an Invitation to School Parents about the Hallow partnership.

Dress Code Policy for 2026-27



The Dress Cody Policy for 2026-27 may be accessed through the school website.

Also, male and female students who take PE at CHS must wear Gym shorts that are classified as 6 inch shorts or longer. Shorts less than 6 inches in length are not acceptable.

Parking and Drop Off Policy for 2026-27

We have updated our Parking and Drop Off Policy for the 2026-27 school year. You can access it by clicking here. It is imperative that all parents, guardians, and students follow this policy at all times. We expect everyone to be safe at all times when operating a vehicle. All students and staff should be able to get to and from school, and to transport themselves throughout campus, safely each and every day.

Parking Permit Hang Tags, color-coded by grade, are issued to each student who plans to drive to school any day. Faculty, also, utilize parking permit hang tags. During the school day, student cars may be parked in a CHS lot/space only if they contain a parking permit clearly displayed. Students may park only in the area defined for their class. Parking permit tags will be kept throughout the student's enrollment at CHS and will be collected prior to graduation/withdrawal.

The form on which to register a car for parking was given to each student on Monday, 8/10, for parent completion and signature. The form should be completed, signed by the parent, and handed in to the student's Homeroom Teacher by Wednesday, 8/19. Students who received a parking tag in 2025-26 will continue to use the same tag or may purchase a new one from Coach Faucheaux. If the student is turning 16 later in the school year or will begin driving later in the school year, the form can be turned in once they start driving to school.

Patience is a requirement when dropping your student off in the morning or picking them up in the afternoon. There are several things that you can do to help the process run smoothly. Please read these instructions and adhere to them throughout the school year. Your assistance and cooperation are very much appreciated.

Parents, a few urgent reminders about afternoon student pick-up at CHS. It is IMPERATIVE that people coming to pick-up students PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE! Cars may NOT form lines within the lanes OR park along the curbs!!!

There are open parking spaces in the Football Parking Lot, the West Lot by the Softball Field, and in the Back Lot that is behind the main building. ALL of these lots are available to parents to use when waiting for a student. It is NOT necessary, safe, or allowed to park along the curb or in the lanes. Please give this information to anyone who may be picking up your child at the end of the school day and PLEASE comply!

Also, pleaes do NOT drop off or pick up students along W. Scott Street. You must pull into a lot in order to safely drop off a student!

Semester Exam Policy

CHS implemented a policy that pertains to students who miss semester exams in either December or in May. This policy states: Students who miss semester exams for serious family emergencies or serious health reasons are excused and may make them up. Students absenting themselves from exams for any other reason(s) may NOT make up exams and will receive a zero for each.

Please be aware of these dates when planning family trips, etc. It is also contained in the CHS Parent/Student Handbook that all parents and students are required to read. So this is simply a reminder for you so that family plans will not conflict with our semester exams. As always, we ask you NOT to remove your child from school until his/her last exam is completed. Thank you so much!!

Students may earn exemption from a semester exam in a course if they have 3 or less absences in that course for the semester (remembering that 3 tardies to a class count as 1 absence), if the student’s academic average in the course is a C or better and their overall average in all courses is a 2.5 or better at the end of the first quarter in that semester (Q1 or Q3). Any student who does not have BOTH of these criteria is required to take exams. Every student in 9th-12th grade will take one mandatory exam per semester. The mandatory exam for the Fall Semester will be announced later in the year. This mandatory exam will be scheduled on the first exam day. No student should be absent from school until after this mandatory exam!

Lunch Protocol

Our food service vendor, Panhandle Food Management (PFM), began providing lunch for students to purchase on Wednesday August 12. Beginning on Monday, 8/17, our food vendor, Panhandle Food Management (PFM), is able to offer cash and ID badge payments (for students whose family have created and added funds to their own account) as the means to pay for a purchased lunch. Credit/debit cards are not accepted.

The software that enables creating these accounts should now be available for all students.

Lunch may also be brought from home. Microwaves are available for student use.

Lunch may not be dropped off for students. Students have the option to bring their lunch from home or purchase it in our Student Life Center. Parents who wish to buy their student's lunch using the student's ID badge may post funds on their child's account online here.

If a parent provides snacks for a club meeting or event, they must be store-purchased and individually store-wrapped. No homemade snacks may be brought in for any event. Thank you for helping us to maintain these important protocols.

Parents and Students' Responsibilities for Early Dismissals

Students must bring a note from the parent to the Front Office in the morning before 7:45 a.m. if he/she will need to be dismissed early that day for any reason. The school is unable to dismiss students early if they did not bring in this note from the parent no later than 7:45 a.m. on the day of the needed dismissal. This is true whether the student will return to school that day or not. Please do not call, email or text the Front Office during the school day to request that your child be dismissed at that time. Also, please remember our policy that students may not be dismissed within 30 minutes of the dismissal time at the end of any day.



Parents' Responsibility Regarding Student Absence from School

All parents and students must adhere to the following:

• If your child is going to be absent for a short period of time (1-3 days), please call the Front Office (850-436-6400) by 8 a.m. and leave a message on the attendance mailbox (#2 on our phone system menu), letting us know your child will be out that day. You must also send an absence excuse note in with your child when they next return to school.

• If your child is going to be absent for a prolonged period of time (more than 3 days) for whatever reason (death in the family requiring travel, a family trip, a serious illness or injury, surgery, etc.), please call the front office (850-436-6400) and report the full details regarding your child's absence (expected length of time, nature of the absence, etc.). You must also send an absence excuse note in with your child when they next return to school. Thank you!

CHS Safe Environment Policy

Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse:

In accordance with the Florida Ethics in Education Act and Section 1006.061(1), Florida Statutes, all employees have a duty to report all actual or suspected cases of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect.  Employees will have immunity from liability if they report abuse and have a duty to comply with child protective investigations as per the policy stated instructions in the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee Child Abuse Policy contained in the Pensacola Catholic High School Faculty Handbook.  Failure to report abuse or misconduct is grounds for disciplinary action.   



Reporting Misconduct by Instructional Personnel and Administrators:

All employees and administrators have an obligation to report misconduct by instructional personnel and school administrators which affects the health, safety, or welfare of a student. Examples of misconduct include obscene language, drug and alcohol use, disparaging comments, prejudice or bigotry, sexual innuendo, cheating or testing violations, physical aggression, and accepting or offering favors.

Reports of misconduct of employees should be made to:

• Chief School Administrator, (850) 436-6400, ext. 114

Reports of misconduct committed by administrators should be made to:

• Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee Superintendent of Schools, (850) 435-3540

Ordering CHS Transcripts

Catholic High School modified the manner by which CHS transcripts are requested and delivered. We are now utilizing Parchment, a secure online platform that streamlines transcript ordering and delivery.

This change is not just local—the Florida Catholic Conference (FCC) has mandated that all Catholic schools in the state of Florida adopt Parchment for transcript services.

With this change:

• All transcript requests will be submitted directly through Parchment.
• Parchment charges a $5 fee per transcript for current CHS students, which is collected and retained entirely by Parchment (not Catholic High School). Alumni and all other requesting parties will be charged $10 per transcript.
• This new system allows for fast, reliable service and electronic delivery to colleges, universities, and other institutions.

To explain this process, Ms. Kyte has already met with the current Seniors to help them set up their account on Parchment.

The link to Parchment with instructions for its use is now live. We encourage alumni and underclassmen to also create a Parchment account and use it for all transcript requests moving forward.
