President's Welcome

May 1st, 2025 is quite a momentous occasion this year. Our wonderful production of Schoolhouse Rocks opens today after weeks of memorizing lines, working on pitch and choreography, and finalizing costumes. The student body eagerly arrived during FLEX today to support the sample they were able to view. We expect big crowds at all four shows and attendees are sure to find delight in our students’ performance. 

On the same day we were able to get a glimpse of the future as the members of the Class of 2025 wore shirts indicating their post graduation plans. Seniors exhibited much pride and enthusiasm showing off their plans and why shouldn’t they? They worked hard to position themselves to be influential members of a society that certainly needs our young minds to be motivated to spread the “goodness of God” all along the trails they will embark on. I have enjoyed breaking bread with many members of the graduating class over lunch  and learning about their plans for the future. They speak highly of how the Spartan Village experience has played an influential role in helping them discover their next path. They exhibit a clarity and confidence now that they did not necessarily have four years ago. What a privilege for the Bishop Stang educators to be a part of that and what a blessing that the graduates have parents who have sacrificed so much for them to experience what will be a glorious day on June 5th. Indeed this is an exciting time of year. 

And so let the celebrations begin. From the National Honor Society Induction, to our first ever Convocation for the graduating class, to prom and Class Officer elections, May is a time of year for us to taste the fruits of our labor - for us to breath in the fresh air of success and to be inspired to finish our work strongly as a refreshing summer awaits not too far in the distance. 

Enjoy your month of May, the Month of our Blessed Mother Mary. May she shine down upon us and may we honor her by being the best of ourselves and believing the best in others. 

Peace,
