Our Sights Are On the Future

Although we are immersed in a flurry of year-end activities, we just couldn't help but pause and reflect on what the future holds for Pope Francis High when we saw this drone photo courtesy of Western Mass News' Bob Hastings!

At last night's hooding ceremony, he was entered into Delta Epsilon Sigma, an honors society established in 1939 for Catholic Universities.

 Congratulations, Mr. Estabrook!

Three Days Before the Rise of a Blue Moon

... and 4 days until the premiere of the Pope Francis Players production of "Into the Woods"!  The student actors wrapped up their final day of rehearsal prep this weekend before moving over to the big stage at Central High School this afternoon. 

 As the result of the curse of a once-beautiful witch, a baker and his wife are childless. Three days before the rise of a blue moon, they venture into the forest to find the ingredients that will reverse the spell and restore the witch's beauty. Find out what those ingredients are on opening night, Friday, May 11th!

You won't want to miss this production!

Wrapping Up the Week

Welcome to the Weekend!

Religious Studies teacher, Mr.Hollwedel playing a friendly
game of chess with freshman Tayzhon James after a busy week.

This Reminds Me When ...

Today students in Senora Thomas' Spanish 2 class had "Show and Tell" with a twist! The project was based on the student's favorite childhood object. They were learning the imperfect tense and the preterite tense in Spanish and were instructed to use those tenses throughout their presentation and essay. 
A fun and personal way to practice the Spanish language!


 

 





No Coasting For Our Students...

The heat is on with a ton of academic year end activity - and it hit 90 degrees this week! Our students are bringing their best right to the end by representing Pope Francis Prep at our New Family Orientation and Social last night. You guys are the best!
