CALENDAR CHANGE - FEBRUARY 25, 2026

Wednesday, February 25, is no longer a delayed start schedule. We are making this change to accommodate a prayer service for peace. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Diocese of Cleveland is encouraging all schools and parishes in the diocese to join in prayer on February 25 as a step towards healing in our nation and our communities so that we might be instruments of peace. First period class will begin at 7:58 a.m. this day, with the prayer service being held later in the morning.

If you scheduled any appointments in the 8:00 a.m. hour to take advantage of delayed start schedule, please know all appointments, regardless of reason will be considered excused absences. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. 

Peace and all good!
