Strengthening Our Faith



October: Grateful for Mary the Mother of God/Respect Life

As we enter the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time, we are reminded that our faith grows stronger through prayer, trust in God, and the ways we show love to others. This week, we continue our Novena to St. Jude, the patron saint of hopeless causes and difficult situations. Through his intercession, we are reminded that no challenge is too great for God's love and mercy. Even in moments of uncertainty, we are called to remain hopeful and place our trust in the Lord.



On Wednesday, October 28, we celebrate the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles. These faithful followers of Christ answered His call and dedicated their lives to spreading the Gospel. Their example reminds us that God calls each of us to be witnesses of His love, not only through our words but through our daily actions, especially in how we treat those around us.

As we conclude our October focus on Gratitude for Mary, Mother of God, and Respect Life, we look to our Blessed Mother as the perfect example of faith, humility, and trust in God's plan. Mary's willingness to say "yes" to God reminds us of the sacredness of every human life and our responsibility to recognize the dignity and worth of every person. Like Mary and the Apostles, we are called to respond to God's invitation with courage, compassion, and love.

Our school year's theme, "Rooted in Christ – Growing in Gratitude," brings these reflections together. When we root our lives in Christ, we grow in our ability to recognize God's blessings, persevere through difficulties, and serve others with grateful hearts. May we encourage our students and families to live this gratitude each day by praying for those who struggle, standing up for the dignity of every human life, and bringing Christ's love into our homes, school, and community.

Prayer for the Week: Heavenly Father, through the intercession of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and Saints Simon and Jude, strengthen our faith and deepen our trust in You. Help us recognize the dignity of every human life, find hope in difficult moments, and grow in gratitude for Your countless blessings. May our lives always reflect Your love. Amen.

PSAT

Due to the disruptions caused by Hurricane Isaias, the PSAT has been rescheduled to Wednesday, October 28, for ALL students in grades 9–11 (Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors).

Arrival and Testing Information

Students should report directly to their homerooms and be seated by 7:45 a.m. Testing will begin shortly thereafter. Provided students follow their proctors' directions and testing proceeds as scheduled, students can anticipate being dismissed from school around 11:30 a.m.

What Students Should Bring

All students must bring:

• A fully charged laptop
• A pen or pencil
• A snack

Students may also bring:

• Their laptop charger
• A calculator approved for use in their math class

Dress Code

Students are expected to follow the regular school dress code on testing day. No shorts, jeans, or T-shirts will be permitted.

Preparing for Test Day

We strongly encourage students to get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy, filling breakfast before arriving at school. The PSAT allows for only one 10-minute break during testing, so students should plan accordingly.

We appreciate the flexibility and cooperation of our students and families as we continue adjusting our school calendar following Hurricane Isaias. We wish all of our Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors the very best on their PSAT!

Calling All Future Crusaders!

We are excited to welcome prospective families to Catholic High and give them the opportunity to discover what makes the CHS experience so special!

Our Open House for 8th Grade Parents will be held on Sunday, October 25, at 1:30 p.m. Families will have the opportunity to learn more about Catholic High’s academic programs, faith-filled environment, athletics, clubs and activities, and the many opportunities available to our students. Come meet members of our CHS community, explore our campus, and see what it means to be a Crusader!

The next step for students interested in joining the Class of 2031 is our Placement Test for Prospective 9th Graders, which will be held on Saturday, October 31, at 8:00 a.m. The placement test helps Catholic High determine the appropriate academic placement for incoming freshmen.

For students unable to attend on October 31, a Make-Up Placement Test will be offered on Tuesday, November 3, at 8:00 a.m.

We look forward to welcoming our future Crusaders and their families to campus. Come see why Catholic High is a great place to learn, grow, and call home!

FAFSA Parent Workshop

Seniors and Families: CHS will host a FAFSA Workshop on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 5:30 PM, in the Library/Media Center. PSC Financial Aid experts will walk students and parents through the application line-by-line. Students and parents/contributors should attend. Please create your StudentAid.gov accounts (FSA ID) ahead of time and remember to bring your 2025 federal tax returns and W-2s! For a complete list of what to bring, review the official Federal Student Aid FAFSA Checklist.

Junior Day Of Recollection

Our Junior class will participate in their annual Day of Recollection on Thursday, October 29, from 7:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This special day provides our students with an opportunity to step away from their normal academic routines and focus on strengthening their relationship with God through prayer, reflection, and fellowship with their classmates.

The junior boys will spend the day at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, while the junior girls will gather at St. Anne Catholic Church, both in Pensacola.

As part of our school year's theme, "Rooted in Christ – Growing in Gratitude," this day encourages students to reflect on the blessings in their lives, deepen their faith, and consider how God is calling them to grow spiritually as they continue their Catholic High journey.

We ask our Crusader families to keep our juniors in their prayers as they take this important opportunity to strengthen their faith and grow closer to Christ.

Halloween Costume Contest

Students are encouraged to join our faculty in dressing up for Halloween this Friday, Oct. 30. Students who go above and beyond, display some creativity, and put smiles on people's faces will be chosen during homeroom as finalists in the costume contest. They will then report to the Front Office where an additional round of voting will take place to determine who this year's costume contest winners will be. We look forward to seeing everyone's creations! All costumes must adhere to CHS dress code guidelines.

Homecoming Week Recap

What a fantastic Homecoming Week at Catholic High! Despite having to reschedule our festivities, our Crusader family came together to make this year's celebration one to remember!

We want to commend our students for their enthusiastic participation in the daily dress themes throughout the week. From creative outfits to incredible school spirit, our students helped make each day special! That Crusader pride was on full display during Friday's Pep Rally and carried right into the excitement of our Homecoming football game that evening.

A special THANK YOU goes out to Christy Fayard, Eric and Nina Blay, Chairpersons of the wonderful Tailgate Party, and to the many parent volunteers who generously dedicated their time and talents to making our Homecoming Tailgate Party such a success! Events like these would not be possible without the hard work and commitment of our wonderful Catholic High families. We are also grateful to our PE teachers, coaches, and students for their great help setting up the Tailgate area and to everyone who joined us for the Tailgate Party and came out to cheer on our Crusaders at the game!

Congratulations to all the members of our 2026 Homecoming Court! We are proud of these students and the honor of being selected by their peers. A special congratulations to our newly crowned Homecoming King, Jeramy "JJ" Smith, and Homecoming Queen, Julianne Adams!

Finally, thank you to everyone who participated in Saturday evening's Homecoming Dance! It was a wonderful way to wrap up a week filled with fun, friendship, tradition, and Crusader spirit.

Homecoming is about so much more than a football game or a dance. It's a celebration of the friendships, traditions, and sense of family that make Catholic High such a special place. Thank you to everyone who helped make Homecoming 2026 a memorable celebration of our Crusader community!

They will host once again this Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 6:00 p.m. against South Walton in the Regional Final.

Our Football Team captured the District Championship on Friday with a big Homecoming victory over Walton by a score of 38-8.

Athletic Eligibility Requirements

The athletic eligibility requirements for 2026-27 can be accessed on our school website.

Physicals are good for 1 year or 365 days from the date the physical was conducted. Athletes will not be able to compete in any event, contest, or tryout unless they have a physical on file with our CHS Compliance Office that is current and covers the competition period. All physicals for 2026-27 must be completed on the new EL2 form. Please fill out all sections of the EL2 form that apply to you prior to going in for the physical.

Athletes also need to update or create their online clearance each year. They will not be permitted to participate in an athletic contest without a current Athletic Clearance. Instructions for this process are located on our website. Information from last year will not auto-populate, so students must provide their health insurance information, name and the phone number of their primary care doctor and preferred hospital in order to complete the clearance process.

A new requirement became effective on July 1, 2026. All freshmen athletes, and any other student-athlete who has never played in an FHSAA sanctioned sport, must receive an ECG screening. A completed EL1 Form and the results of the ECG screening must be submitted to the school prior to the student participating in any event, contest or tryout. If the ECG result indicates an Abnormal or a Borderline ECG, the student will not be allowed to participate until the parent and doctor fill out and submit an EL1/2S Form, indicating a Normal ECG or a Normal Variant.

Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) Deals

The FHSAA has created a resource page for any student-athlete wanting to learn about the recently approved NIL bylaws. It is imperative that any athlete that enters into a NIL deal/contract adhere to these bylaws to the letter. They are also required to submit a completed Form GA1 Affidavit of Amateurism to the Athletic Compliance Department within five (5) business days of signing a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreement.

Hallow Prayer App

The Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee has entered into a year long partnership with Hallow, the world's number one Catholic prayer app. If you're not familiar, Hallow is a free app (with a paid premium subscription level available) that is designed to help people pray. The Rosary, Scripture reflections, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, numerous other devotionals and unique prayer campaigns, often led by celebrities, are all available through the app.

Millions of individuals use it and have been drawn into consistent habits of prayer due to it. Many credit their use of Hallow with a decision to come into full communion with the Catholic Church.

For more information, click here.

Click here for an Invitation to School Parents about the Hallow partnership.

Dress Code Policy for 2026-27



The Dress Cody Policy for 2026-27 may be accessed through the school website.

Also, male and female students who take PE at CHS must wear Gym shorts that are classified as 6 inch shorts or longer. Shorts less than 6 inches in length are not acceptable.

Parking and Drop Off Policy for 2026-27

We have updated our Parking and Drop Off Policy for the 2026-27 school year. You can access it by clicking here. It is imperative that all parents, guardians, and students follow this policy at all times. We expect everyone to be safe at all times when operating a vehicle. All students and staff should be able to get to and from school, and to transport themselves throughout campus, safely each and every day.

Parking Permit Hang Tags, color-coded by grade, are issued to each student who plans to drive to school any day. Faculty, also, utilize parking permit hang tags. During the school day, student cars may be parked in a CHS lot/space only if they contain a parking permit clearly displayed. Students may park only in the area defined for their class. Parking permit tags will be kept throughout the student's enrollment at CHS and will be collected prior to graduation/withdrawal.

The form on which to register a car for parking was given to each student on Monday, 8/10, for parent completion and signature. The form should be completed, signed by the parent, and handed in to the student's Homeroom Teacher by Wednesday, 8/19. Students who received a parking tag in 2025-26 will continue to use the same tag or may purchase a new one from Coach Faucheaux. If the student is turning 16 later in the school year or will begin driving later in the school year, the form can be turned in once they start driving to school.

Patience is a requirement when dropping your student off in the morning or picking them up in the afternoon. There are several things that you can do to help the process run smoothly. Please read these instructions and adhere to them throughout the school year. Your assistance and cooperation are very much appreciated.

Parents, a few urgent reminders about afternoon student pick-up at CHS. It is IMPERATIVE that people coming to pick-up students PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE! Cars may NOT form lines within the lanes OR park along the curbs!!!

There are open parking spaces in the Football Parking Lot, the West Lot by the Softball Field, and in the Back Lot that is behind the main building. ALL of these lots are available to parents to use when waiting for a student. It is NOT necessary, safe, or allowed to park along the curb or in the lanes. Please give this information to anyone who may be picking up your child at the end of the school day and PLEASE comply!

Also, pleaes do NOT drop off or pick up students along W. Scott Street. You must pull into a lot in order to safely drop off a student!

Semester Exam Policy

CHS implemented a policy that pertains to students who miss semester exams in either December or in May. This policy states: Students who miss semester exams for serious family emergencies or serious health reasons are excused and may make them up. Students absenting themselves from exams for any other reason(s) may NOT make up exams and will receive a zero for each.

Please be aware of these dates when planning family trips, etc. It is also contained in the CHS Parent/Student Handbook that all parents and students are required to read. So this is simply a reminder for you so that family plans will not conflict with our semester exams. As always, we ask you NOT to remove your child from school until his/her last exam is completed. Thank you so much!!

Students may earn exemption from a semester exam in a course if they have 3 or less absences in that course for the semester (remembering that 3 tardies to a class count as 1 absence), if the student’s academic average in the course is a C or better and their overall average in all courses is a 2.5 or better at the end of the first quarter in that semester (Q1 or Q3). Any student who does not have BOTH of these criteria is required to take exams. Every student in 9th-12th grade will take one mandatory exam per semester. The mandatory exam for the Fall Semester will be announced later in the year. This mandatory exam will be scheduled on the first exam day. No student should be absent from school until after this mandatory exam!

Lunch Protocol

Our food service vendor, Panhandle Food Management (PFM), began providing lunch for students to purchase on Wednesday August 12. Beginning on Monday, 8/17, our food vendor, Panhandle Food Management (PFM), is able to offer cash and ID badge payments (for students whose family have created and added funds to their own account) as the means to pay for a purchased lunch. Credit/debit cards are not accepted.

The software that enables creating these accounts should now be available for all students.

Lunch may also be brought from home. Microwaves are available for student use.

Lunch may not be dropped off for students. Students have the option to bring their lunch from home or purchase it in our Student Life Center. Parents who wish to buy their student's lunch using the student's ID badge may post funds on their child's account online here.

If a parent provides snacks for a club meeting or event, they must be store-purchased and individually store-wrapped. No homemade snacks may be brought in for any event. Thank you for helping us to maintain these important protocols.

Parents and Students' Responsibilities for Early Dismissals

Students must bring a note from the parent to the Front Office in the morning before 7:45 a.m. if he/she will need to be dismissed early that day for any reason. The school is unable to dismiss students early if they did not bring in this note from the parent no later than 7:45 a.m. on the day of the needed dismissal. This is true whether the student will return to school that day or not. Please do not call, email or text the Front Office during the school day to request that your child be dismissed at that time. Also, please remember our policy that students may not be dismissed within 30 minutes of the dismissal time at the end of any day.



Parents' Responsibility Regarding Student Absence from School

All parents and students must adhere to the following:

• If your child is going to be absent for a short period of time (1-3 days), please call the Front Office (850-436-6400) by 8 a.m. and leave a message on the attendance mailbox (#2 on our phone system menu), letting us know your child will be out that day. You must also send an absence excuse note in with your child when they next return to school.

• If your child is going to be absent for a prolonged period of time (more than 3 days) for whatever reason (death in the family requiring travel, a family trip, a serious illness or injury, surgery, etc.), please call the front office (850-436-6400) and report the full details regarding your child's absence (expected length of time, nature of the absence, etc.). You must also send an absence excuse note in with your child when they next return to school. Thank you!

CHS Safe Environment Policy

Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse:

In accordance with the Florida Ethics in Education Act and Section 1006.061(1), Florida Statutes, all employees have a duty to report all actual or suspected cases of child abuse, abandonment, or neglect.  Employees will have immunity from liability if they report abuse and have a duty to comply with child protective investigations as per the policy stated instructions in the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee Child Abuse Policy contained in the Pensacola Catholic High School Faculty Handbook.  Failure to report abuse or misconduct is grounds for disciplinary action.   



Reporting Misconduct by Instructional Personnel and Administrators:

All employees and administrators have an obligation to report misconduct by instructional personnel and school administrators which affects the health, safety, or welfare of a student. Examples of misconduct include obscene language, drug and alcohol use, disparaging comments, prejudice or bigotry, sexual innuendo, cheating or testing violations, physical aggression, and accepting or offering favors.

Reports of misconduct of employees should be made to:

• Chief School Administrator, (850) 436-6400, ext. 114

Reports of misconduct committed by administrators should be made to:

• Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee Superintendent of Schools, (850) 435-3540

Ordering CHS Transcripts

Catholic High School modified the manner by which CHS transcripts are requested and delivered. We are now utilizing Parchment, a secure online platform that streamlines transcript ordering and delivery.

This change is not just local—the Florida Catholic Conference (FCC) has mandated that all Catholic schools in the state of Florida adopt Parchment for transcript services.

With this change:

• All transcript requests will be submitted directly through Parchment.
• Parchment charges a $5 fee per transcript for current CHS students, which is collected and retained entirely by Parchment (not Catholic High School). Alumni and all other requesting parties will be charged $10 per transcript.
• This new system allows for fast, reliable service and electronic delivery to colleges, universities, and other institutions.

To explain this process, Ms. Kyte has already met with the current Seniors to help them set up their account on Parchment.

The link to Parchment with instructions for its use is now live. We encourage alumni and underclassmen to also create a Parchment account and use it for all transcript requests moving forward.
