Several area coaches pointed to Sullivan, a sophomore midfielder, as a rising player to watch. That was backed up in the season opener, when his overtime goal gave the Cardinals a 1-0 win over Watkins Memorial. Sullivan started last year as a freshman and should again play a key role as the Cardinals seek their first Division I district title since 2019.

Hail Alma Mater Dear!

On May 16, eight seniors signed their Division II or III "letter of intent" to continue their athletic careers in college.

 

 

It is quite extraordinary for a student to earn the top score of 36 on the ACT. Out of a class of 123 students, this year TWO St. Charles Preparatory School juniors, William Malerich and Malcolm D'Souza, earned this special distinction.  

 
Their story is detailed in May 21st's  Catholic Times. Click HERE to view a PDF of the issue. Visit page 18 for the "Two Perfect ACT Scores" story as well as 'SC Students Repeat State Investment Championship" just below.  

After a three-year hiatus, the school welcomed back its senior graduates and family members to the annual Platinum Reunion on May 9th. More than 60 people attended the day's activities, which included Mass, lunch, a tour of the Frank E. Murphy '54 Convocation Center, and a "State-of-the-School" presentation. 

 

 

 

A big THANK YOU to all those who helped make this year’s Father/Son Mass & Breakfast a fantastic success on Saturday, March 4, 2023. We are especially grateful to our celebrant, Fr. Leo Connolly of Seton Parish, and our speaker, St. Charles father and retired Major League Baseball umpire, Tim Timmons.

 

 

In this month’s blog, we’d like to dive into building a college list. Typically, list building won’t truly begin until junior year. However, it’s important to think about building the list and qualities of colleges as we approach junior year.

The evening included a cocktail reception and comments by our featured speaker, Robert Dilenschneider '61. Principal Jim Lower discussed the outstanding state of the school, the progress of the Frank E. Murphy ‘54 Convocation Center’s construction, and ongoing work to as we prepare to initiate the next step of the school’s “Master Plan,” the addition of a multi-story learning/science/technology center on the footprint of the old gymnasium.

Our thanks, not only to Mr. Dilenschneider, but also to Joe Hartge ’11 and Paul Kuppich ’05 for helping to inspire and assist with the gathering.

It was a great night to be a Carolian!

On Wednesday, February 15, St. Charles welcomed back to campus alumni John Adams ’94 and Bogimir Glavan ’93, pilots for American Airlines. They were special guests at today’s Alumni Lunch in Walter Student Commons and enjoyed a tour of the new Frank E. Murphy ’54 Convocation Center, now under construction.

 

Afterward, they spoke to St. Charles students about their careers as part of the Carolian Speaker Series – presentations given by alumni and friends regarding their love of St. Charles, their college experiences, and their professional careers.   

 

Your Alma Mater was honored to have you back!

Getting involved in extracurricular activities outside of school is an important piece to your college application. Although great grades and test scores are still a good percentage of the overall profile, it’s very important to show a college your balance of academics and activities. But how do you get involved? Below are some ideas to consider.

 

On Tuesday morning, January 31, St. Charles recognized and honored those GRADUATES, PARENTS, FACULTY and STAFF who have, and continue to, “Serve and Protect” us. This took place during our celebration of Catholic Schools Week (1/29-2/5).

The entire student body, faculty and staff were on hand to recognize and honor these men and women for their service to our country and community and for acting as shining examples of ways for our students to become good citizens.  

Congratulations to our 2023 St. Charles Basketball Hall of Fame recipients honored Saturday night - Coach Jim Lower, Chris Kitsmiller ‘92, and Bill Cain ‘92.

 

On Wednesday, February 2, as Catholic Schools Week continued, we  "Celebrated Our Community."

 

Students were encouraged to invite parents, grandparents or someone else in their lives who has impacted their Catholic education. All were invited to join us  in Walter Student Commons for a school-wide breakfast before the school day started.  

 

Our thanks to all those who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much to make a Catholic education possible for our young men and others.

 

Wait, are they serious?! I did not get in?! I guess I am not smart enough to go there. Why did I take those classes then?! They do not want me. This means they do not like me. They don’t think I have what it takes to be successful there."

Does this sound familiar? How do you feel reading the word ‘rejection’. Too often students align their self-worth to admissions decisions, especially ‘rejection’.

 

St. Charles Preparatory School is excited to celebrate Catholic Schools Week 2023 from January 29th to February 5th! All are welcome to join us for our daily events to celebrate our Students, Nation, Faith, Community and Faculty/Staff.  We will wrap up our celebrations with our Annual Spaghetti Dinner on Feb 5th.
