Upper School Academic Awards and NHS Inductions

On Wednesday, May 11, 2022, Concordia Prep held the first in-person Academic Awards night since the spring of 2019. Before the Awards Ceremony the spring NHS ceremony was held.

After the ceremony, they were joined by senior NHS members for a group shot.

Athletic Department News – From the Director of Athletics

Saints Family,

It's hard to believe that we have come to the end of the 2021-2022 athletic year. What a year it was! We had some historic finishes for teams and the spring was no exception. Our MS athletes returned to action after a nearly two-year absence. We competed in boys' and girls' lacrosse at the MS level for the first time. Both teams saw great success, winning most of their games. We also had MS baseball. They were able to play several games this year and grew each game. We are proud of their effort this spring!

Our Upper School teams completed their season recently and we saw similar success as the previous seasons. All of our Concordia Prep teams made the playoffs! Baseball ended their season in the championship game with a loss to Key. Baseball has made the championship game the last three years and continues to set a standard of excellence. Softball also returned to the championship game. The Saints had a tough loss to Beth Tfiloh, however, they upset Bryn Mawr to get to the game. Boys' lacrosse ended their season in the semi-finals to #1 seed St. Johns Catholic Prep. They played a tough game and kept it close. The boys finished fourth in the conference overall and will return a lot of firepower next season. Girls' lacrosse finished 5th in the conference, losing a tough matchup in the quarterfinals. The girls improved immensely this year and they will be a force next season. Our Track & Field team has had an amazing season. The boys' team ended up finishing 4th overall. Both our boys' and girls' teams set several school records.

We are so proud of all of the accomplishments of our Saints this spring!
