Our campus has been buzzing with activity in Admissions since I began at the end of October. My days have been filled with personalized tours, admissions events both on and off campus, Future Viking Days for partner and non-partner schools, and ongoing communication with our Future Viking families. It has truly been a joy meeting so many of you—and this is only the beginning.

I am here to support you wherever you are in your journey to high school. Whether you need a quick phone call, guidance on the application process, or help completing enrollment, I am honored to serve as your resource and partner along the way. Please feel free to reach out at any time.



If you’ve been waiting to apply, I encourage you to submit your application before Christmas. For families coming from Diocesan partner schools, we’ve simplified the process—no teacher recommendations or parent-collected transcripts are required.



If you have already applied and been accepted, your next step is enrollment. Early enrollment is important, as it provides priority access to tuition assistance and course selection. December is a busy month for everyone, so consider this your reminder to make applying and enrolling a priority—and check it off your Christmas list this year!

A Semester Rooted in Faith, Service, and Community

As we close out the fall semester, we celebrate the powerful ways our students, faculty, and staff have lived out Nolan Catholic’s mission through prayer, service, and generosity.

5,880 Minutes in Adoration

This semester, our students spent a remarkable 5,880 minutes in Adoration, offering time in prayer, reflection, and gratitude. Adoration is available to our community every Friday, and we are inspired by the number of students who consistently choose to begin their day in the presence of Christ.

11,186 Hours of Service

Nolan Catholic students also dedicated 11,186 hours of service this semester—an extraordinary example of servant leadership. From parish ministries to local nonprofits to service work on campus, our students continue to answer the call to love and serve their neighbors. Their witness embodies the heart of Catholic education.

Angel Wings Gift Drive

We are also in the midst of our cherished Angel Wings tradition, through which the Nolan Catholic community has adopted 25 families this Christmas season. Students, faculty, and staff are joyfully donating gifts to ensure that each family is supported, celebrated, and uplifted during Advent. This tradition remains a beautiful reminder of what it means to give generously and walk alongside those in need.
