Well-Prepared Graduates
With a St. Michael's education, our eighth graders are very fortunate to have lots of wonderful options for high school. Our graduates attend top area high schools and specialty centers and they are consistently praised by school guidance counselors and admissions directors for their superior academic achievement, interpersonal skills, and enthusiasm for learning.
This week, St. Michael's was pleased to welcome leadership from 12 independent high schools, as well as some St M alumni, to our annual High School Planning program.

Bee Happy!
Becky Potfay, Kelsey Salley, and Kelly Howard: BEE HAPPY! These three St. Michael's Magazine readers were the first to respond to our page 12 contest and each has received a jar of pure grown honey from our campus hive!
We hope our families are enjoying the latest edition of our ANNUAL ST M MAGAZINE which hit mailboxes last week. Please feel free to reach out to our Communications Office if yours did not arrive.

Dogs in Carpool
We truly love furry friends but for student, faculty, and pet safety, St. Michael's prefers that dogs be left AT HOME.
Any dogs arriving on campus must be tethered inside cars during carpool and Extended Day pick-up and drop-off.
Dogs should also not be outside of cars on campus between the weekday hours of 8 a.m and 6 p.m. and are not permissible on our athletic field and/or at athletic games unless the dog is a service animal. Thank you for your understanding.
