Tampa Catholic will be closed for Thanksgiving Break next week.

Classes will resume on Monday, December 2nd. The Advent season will be underway with Christmas celebrations just around the corner.


We wish you and your family a joyful and restful Thanksgiving holiday!

Students can look forward to celebrating the Five Days of Christmas the week of December 9th-13th. The week will be full of dress down days, activities and treats supported by you through your generosity and participation in the Crusader Parents Club. Advent will be recognized throughout our campus and with a special Charitable Christmas ceremony by the Campus Ministry Team the evening of December 12th. The last day before the Christmas break will be a special luncheon for our faculty and staff with a delicious meal, beautiful decorations and gift cards presented

Fall Exam Schedules

End of semester exams are scheduled for December 16th through 19th. We have made a few changes this year, so please look at the document carefully. 



  • Exams have been scheduled by CLASS PERIOD. So, if the schedule says Period A, students will go to their period A classroom and take their exam with their period A teacher. 
  • Please note that there are some courses that do not have exams during exam week; these are listed on the document. Your student does not need to be present at school during class periods without exams. So, for example, there are no exams for lunch. If your student has lunch period D, he or she may go home after their period C exam is complete. 
  • We have also adjusted the start and end times of exams. Please make note of the new times so that your student is present and ready when exams are to begin. 
  • Finally, students who are absent MUST have a doctor’s note in order to be rescheduled to take a missed exam. Please refer to the handbook page 6, 7 and 8. Administration will schedule make-up exams.

 

You can anticipate more information about exams in the coming weeks. Semester exams are an important measure of what students know and are able to do, and the results help guide our teachers in improving their instructional practices. Thank you for your continued commitment to academic excellence as we go through this process!

B.E.S.T. Club

The TC B.E.S.T. Club loves their partnership with Celebrate Birthdays! These Crusaders baked homemade cupcakes, decorated them, and delivered to Metropolitan Ministries. Every child deserves to have their dignity upheld by celebrating the glorious day they were born

Being Catholic is and absolute grace and privilege beyond what the heart and mind can grasp. Between the Scriptures and the Sacraments, everyday has the spiritual potential of feeling like Christmas morning. But, St. Luke reminds us in chapter 12 of his Gospel, “much will be required of the person entrusted with much”. As baptized Catholics we are expected to lead in our world as priest, prophet, and king. Our leadership, no matter our state in life, must be clear, bold, and rooted in the Person of Jesus. In society there exists so much uncertainty, many lies, much darkness. May we lead with our baptismal responsibilities; reassuring the anxious, fearlessly speaking truth, and dispelling all shadows with the light of Christ dwelling in us.

Priest, prophet, and kind - who me?

Be sure to keep up with all things Crusader!
