School News

Hello Everyone,



We are excited to share that work is officially beginning on a couple of our campaign projects, with noticeable progress taking place over the next few weeks.

Ray Martin Company is currently on site working on preparing the chiller for removal, and we anticipate little to no disruption from this project for the time being. Monday, November 9th, MCL began mobilization for the baseball retaining wall. To accommodate construction, the parking spaces adjacent to the Health and Conditioning Center will be blocked off, although the remainder of the main lot is available.

If you need to access the St. Bernadette gym, you are able to walk through the restricted parking area. However, for everyone's safety, please ensure no one walks down to the field area under any circumstances. Please review the attached map for site details, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to improve our campus!

Winter Sports Meeting - Sunday, November 15th 7:00PM in auditorium.

In order to compete in sports and some activities, students must fill out the following three athletic forms and turn the documents into the main office before the sports season begins. Paperwork is required once each school year, if forms were submitted for Fall Sports you do not need to submit new forms.

Our food drive was so successful last year that we had to go for round 2 this year. It is a grade vs. grade competition, and if it is anything like last year, the energy is fierce!

Help Gross Catholic Enrollment Grow

What is the Education Freedom Tax Credit?

The Education Freedom Tax Credit is an opportunity for donors to direct their federal tax dollars to a school of their choice to provide scholarships to families in financial need.

Beginning January 1, 2027, eligible taxpayers can receive a tax credit for qualified contribution to an approved Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO).

Our goal is for 1,200 families to contribute to OSN and designate Gross Catholic as their school to support. Please contact our VP of Advancement, Mark McNamara, at 402-734-2000 or mmcnamara@gcgmail.org to be a part of this opportunity!
