Class of 2026 Welcome Event

Members of the Class of 2026 were formally welcomed into the SLUH community Wednesday night at the annual Welcoming Celebration held by the admissions team. Some 250 future Jr. Bills made their way to the Backer Memorial, where they watched a presentation about the iLab’s model airplane and took part in their first “U. High, U. High” chants. The night ended with two rousing renditions of “Oh When the Bills Go Marching In” on the field house bleachers, capping off a night filled with excitement and celebration.

Senior Class Mass

The senior class filed into the chapel on Tuesday to take part in one final class Mass. The Mass was presided over by principal Fr. Ian Gibbons, SJ and the senior Pastoral Team contributed in assisting roles. Through the use of visuals, Gibbons preached on the importance of seniors going beyond the surface level and recognizing the complexity of people and various issues they encounter. At the conclusion of Mass, Gibbons prayed over the senior class, asking God to give strength to the seniors to finish the year strong and continue being model leaders within the school community. 

Mothers Club Cookies Sales

After an unfortunate postponement thanks to last week’s snow days, the Mothers’ Club’s cookie sales are back. Both today and yesterday, cookies of both the store bought and homemade varieties are available for purchase at lunch for the low price of just 50 cents for two cookies. Though we at the Prep News must have an unbiased take on this matter, this writer will absolutely be taking advantage of this delicious opportunity.
