St. Hilary School

August is here which means school is just around the corner! Several teachers got to hear the famous speak today and now have the SPARK 🔥 to start another school year! We can’t wait for August 26!

Save the Date! Celebration is always a blast and supports our students, staff, and school. We can’t wait for Mardi Gras!

We hope everyone is having an amazing summer! We wanted to make sure our students and their families save these fun and exciting events! The first is the Mother Son Game Night. The second is a ladies night, Purse Bingo! Lastly, is our a Father-Daughter Dance! More info to come. ☀️

What a fun day for this Celebration winner! Spending the day with Officer Russ included donuts, watching the security camera, using the drone, visiting the police station, being part of a (pretend) traffic stop, and obviously patrolling our campus. 👮‍♀️ 🚨 This will be a hot item for next years Celebration!

The eighth graders had their last school Mass last week. ❤️ 🤍

Eighth graders performed Bible skits for their kindergarten and first grade friends. These were the last Bible skits performed this year. We were able to dodge the raindrops and evangelize some beautiful biblical New and Old Testament stories to the younger students of our school. These eighth graders have thrived with this assignment.

One of our seventh graders was awarded the Kevin Thomas Neff Memorial Scholarship yesterday after our school Mass that included our May Crowning. We are so proud of her steadfast faith, academic excellence, and positive social outlook. Congratulations to one amazing student!

The Neff Family typically attends this Mass but sadly could not be there this year due to a family member being ill. We would like to ask our school and church community to please lift the Neff family up in prayer and continue to pray for them over the next several days.

Congratulations to our outstanding St. Hilary School 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who participated at the Middle School Mock Trial State Showcase yesterday at the Ohio Supreme Court in Columbus! A huge thank you to Judge Jon Oldham, Mr. Justin Alaburda, and our sixth grade teacher, Miss Buzzi for all of their time, advice, and patience getting our teams prepared. Congratulations to several of our students on earning outstanding attorney awards and best witness award. These Sabers should be very proud of themselves!!
