Dear Cougar Families-


As we close another amazing school year at Gross Catholic, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our students, families, and staff for your dedication, faith, support, and partnership in our mission throughout the year.


Together, we have celebrated many achievements, overcome many challenges, and continued to grow as a Cougar family rooted in our Marianist charisms, strong Catholic faith, and genuine service. I am incredibly proud of all that our students have accomplished this year.  


I wish you all a safe, restful, and fun-filled summer. Our prayer is that summer is a time when you can spend quality time with those you love most engaged in the activities which bring you the greatest joy. I look forward to all that the next school year will bring.


With Blessings-


Stephen P. Eubanks

President

Your opinion matters to us! Please take a few moments to complete our survey.


Twice a year we survey our students, faculty/staff, and school families in order to acquire data that gives us a clearer picture about areas of commendation and improvement. 


The results of this survey are very important and are reviewed by the administration, faculty, and staff. We also share the results of the survey with our community at large and use it for continuous improvement through our accreditation process.


Please keep the following in mind as you answer the items in this survey:

1. Consider the field trips, retreats, Mission Days, and Homeroom activities that have been created to augment student's structured education.

2. Consider ways that student-voice has influenced school decisions - Latino Music, changes to uniform (sweatshirts, polos, Uggs, etc), academies, Student Council events.

3. Consider the actions and attitudes of adults in this building as a whole - Do you feel students are cared for, respected, known by the majority of adults in the building? Do you believe students have at least 1 adult at school that you would consider a trusted adult? 

4. Consider students' education as a whole - Do you feel they are prepared for college? Have students learned in a variety of ways (sometimes through lecture, sometimes through technology, sometimes in groups, sometimes through projects, sometimes through reading, sometimes through hands-on experiences, etc)? Has student understanding and mastery of content been assessed in various ways (traditional tests, essays, projects, technology-based assessments,labs, performances, etc)?


Please complete the survey here: https://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/303742/14620



The survey will remain open until May 15th. THANK YOU!
