COLORADO SPRINGS. The high school experience shapes much of who a person becomes. Academics help students achieve college goals and discern future career paths.

COLORADO SPRINGS. When Kaden Westfall’s family left Colorado Springs on July 13 to drive to Ohio for the 2018 Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) National Championships, he was hoping that he and his fellow St. Mary’s High School teammates would have a good experience at their first nationals. What he wasn’t expecting was for anyone on the team to come home with medals. When the team headed home a few days later, two of the St. Mary’s squads were second in the nation and Westfall was a national champion.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Those who live in privilege often take much for granted, which is why mission trips are so eye opening for those who participate.

COLORADO SPRINGS. When thinking about the aerospace industry, Colorado probably isn’t the first state to come to mind. But the state’s growing aerospace community — made up of  more than 500 companies and suppliers — now ranks it as the second-largest space economy in the nation. During the last two weeks of June, Stephen Sabish, a recent St. Mary’s High School graduate, had the opportunity to explore Colorado’s space industry as an intern with the Colorado Space Business Roundtable (CSBR).

COLORADO SPRINGS. In the more than 130-year history of St. Mary’s High School, the Grace Center for Athletics and Community Service has only been serving the Pirate family for the last almost 12 years. But during those years, the Grace Center has played a large and important role, not just in the St. Mary’s community, but in the greater Colorado Springs community. Now this vital part of the community is in need of new turf and track at the stadium.

I just finished attending several Masses and graduations from our Catholic schools, and each was such a gift and gave me hope for the future of our diocese.  The words of the pastors, principals and students let me know we are on the right track.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Powerful. Faith deepening. Growing in understanding. That’s how St. Mary’s High School students describe their experiences at last year’s Steubenville of the Rockies Youth Conference in Denver. This year, St. Mary’s High School has reserved 13 student spots and three chaperone spots for the conference, which will be held June 22-24 at the Crowne Plaza at the Denver International Airport.
