From the Principal

We are his people, the sheep of his flock.

Psalm 100

Hello Everyone!


Thanks to the generosity of this community, Track-a-Thon raised $49,483.  This is simply amazing!  Thank you so much for your support of this fundraiser.



Congratulations to the 8th graders who received their ribbons yesterday.  We are all very proud of them.


Our track team had a very impressive showing at last week's sectional competition.  St. Emily had FIVE athletes meet the state qualifications!!! These athletes will compete in the State Meet in East Peoria on Friday, May 17.
