Athletic Department News
Dear Saints Family,

As we know there is, “For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.” At this time, our amazing 2022-2023 athletic season has come to an end. What a year it was and we are so blessed by our growth, accomplishments, and the opportunity to participate in athletics. Our last team standing was our baseball team. For the first time ever, our conference had a double-elimination tournament that took place over 10 days. The boys battled and ultimately had to win 4 games in 6 days to have the opportunity to compete in the championship. They took on the #1 seed Key in a marathon 4-hour slugfest and won 11-4 to force a second game. With highs come lows, and the boys fell in the final game. It was not without a valiant effort and we are so proud of their season.

Concordia Saints Families,

As we finish out this school year, we want to make sure you all know how much your support of the PTL activities has made a difference. We asked and you delivered...all year long! Our events included Back to School Night, Junior/Senior Sunrise, Open House, Bonfire, BINGO, Teacher Luncheon, Christmas Decorating, pop-up Spirit Wear sales, Senior Dinner, Bid for Kids, and New Student Night. You showed up big for Teacher Appreciation Week and we can't thank you enough!

We hope you have some much-needed family time over the summer and we will be ready to kick off the new school year come August. Please keep an eye on our social media pages as we will publish information as we receive and plan.

Thanks again,
