The beginning of the school year is fast approaching, and so is the start of middle school athletics. Parents, if you still need to do so, please fill out the sports interest form if you would like to add your child to a fall sport (Cross Country, Football, Soccer, or Volleyball). Those who have already been contacted for fall sports do not need to fill out this Google form.

Please remember that all of our school sports require an annual Pre-Participation form filled out by a doctor and parent before your son or daughter may participate in the first practice, including any team tryouts. Please make sure to get this form completed, scanned, and uploaded here as soon as possible.

Please note: our Cross Country team is the ONLY fall sports team offered to athletes beginning in 3rd grade. All other fall school sports require students to be in 6th-8th grade. Feel free to email Ashley Gomila if you have any questions about athletics.

If you are experiencing a hardship of any kind please contact the HSA Caring Committee for support or prayer requests. They are here to help!

The HSA Caring Committee is a volunteer group that supports St. Cecilia Catholic School families who are dealing with illness, death, or crisis.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
