Everything seemed to go right for SLUH Soccer last Tuesday. From finding the back of the net eight times in just 70 minutes to not letting up a single shot on defense, the Jr. Bills fought hard under the scorching sun to roll over visiting opponents Timberland and MICDS. 

If you happened to venture to Forest Park on an early morning this summer, it would have been hard to miss the SLUH cross country team putting in miles on the trails and gearing up for what is hoped to be a successful season. 

After a year stranded in foriegn waters, the St. Louis U. High swim team has finally been able to return to its chlorinated paradise of Forest Park Community College. After a tough season that culminated in 5th place at state, the squad is eager to get back into the water and dominate the competition this year. 

On the first day of fall practice, coach Adam Cruz deemed this season the “Year of the Billiken” on his Twitter account, anticipating an exciting breakthrough season for the Jr. Bills on the gridiron. 

Overcoming Covid-19 has been the singular focus of the SLUH community since March of 2020. We have endured strenuous Zoom calls, uncomfortable masks, and painstaking sanitation for an entire school year. Our collective goal is to bring an end to this pandemic, and the easiest way to accomplish this is vaccinating the entire SLUH community.

St. Louis U. High welcomes Fr. Matthew Stewart S.J., ’98 back to the SLUH community as a priest, theology teacher, and Director of Campus Ministry. 

Running of the Bills, homeroom competitions, class mass, bashball—each of these activities is part of a typical freshman year at SLUH. Because of the pandemic, the current sophomores—members of the class of 2024— have not yet experienced many of these traditions.

Hungry? Stop by the cafeteria during lunch or Studium for some exciting new treats. Kathy Hylla and her team from Food Service Consultants have been hard at work diversifying the menu and making the lunch line far more enjoyable and sustainable.

Just over an hour’s drive north of the campus of St. Louis U. High sits the Madonna Della Strada Retreat Center, 89 acres of pristine rural Missouri land that, as of this past summer, is now open and available for retreats and group service opportunities.
