What a wonderful ending to an incredible school year at Nolan Catholic!
As we celebrated the Class of 2026, we were reminded of just how special our Viking community truly is. This graduating class leaves behind an inspiring legacy filled with accomplishments, leadership, faith, and bright futures ahead.

And believe it or not—one day, this will be your child walking across that stage. It may feel far away now, but the journey goes quickly! Whatever dreams and goals your student has, Nolan Catholic will be here to support, challenge, and encourage them every step of the way.

Summer is already buzzing with excitement on campus! Don’t forget to sign up for summer camps at NCHS. My own kids have already attended a few, and it has been so fun seeing the campus full of energy, laughter, and so many Future Vikings making memories.

As a reminder, applications for the 2026–2027 school year are still open. Enrollment is growing, but we still have spots available in all grade levels. Schedule a tour with me and discover firsthand what makes Nolan Catholic such a special place for students to grow in faith, academics, and community.

Have a wonderful summer, and we hope to see you on campus soon!

Around the Circle

Artists Recognized in Diocesan Competition

Nolan Catholic students and talented young artists in grades 6–8 from schools across the Diocese of Fort Worth were recently recognized in the Second Annual Diocesan Art Competition.

The competition celebrated the creativity, skill, and artistic expression of students from throughout the diocese, showcasing a wide variety of mediums and styles. Participating students demonstrated exceptional talent while sharing their unique perspectives through art.

Hands-On Learning in Dr. Hubbard's Dissection Lab

Students in Dr. Hubbard's science classes had the opportunity to take their learning beyond the textbook through an engaging, hands-on dissection experience.

Adding a special real-world perspective to the lesson, Dr. Nicole Randolph, parent of Jack Randolph '29 and a Nolan Catholic alumna, joined the class to help lead the dissection.

Students benefited from expert guidance throughout the lab, learned about careers in veterinary medicine, and had the opportunity to ask questions about anatomy and the day-to-day work of a veterinarian. As a special bonus, Dr. Randolph also provided additional instruction on the anatomy of the heart, enriching the experience for students in both Biology Honors and Anatomy & Physiology Honors courses.

With the help of Anatomy & Physiology Honors students from the Class of 2026, the dissection became a collaborative learning experience that brought science to life and demonstrated the value of connecting classroom lessons with real-world applications.
