Greetings! Enjoy our Saints News!

HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSING

Congratulations to our Seniors with all of their college acceptances! Since last summer, they have worked tirelessly with the college application process and it has paid off. Their college acceptances are impressive and we will announce their college choices after May 1st. I also want to thank Mrs. Petersmeyer, our Director of College and Career Counseling, for her exceptional work with the Class of ’22.

I am happy for all of our Seniors but want to take a moment to recognize those who were accepted to a Top 100 U.S. News and World Report National University or Liberal Arts College or Forbes – America’s Top Colleges. Although rankings are imperfect and there are many college ranking outlets, acceptance to a Top 100 is no small feat. Regardless of rankings, we’re incredibly proud of all of our Seniors with their college acceptances, college choices, and pursuit of finding the ‘right fit’ for their next four years.

This team researched osteogenesis and learned to culture cells in the lab to study the effects of the hormone Estradiol on bone formation. and to correlate their findings to low dose estrogen replacement in post-menopausal women.
