Team Hunter Ross are Victorious!

Montini Catholic students have taken full advantage of the revival of intramurals at the Lasallian college preparatory high school. The renewal is the brainchild of Dean of Students and Director of Student Services, Anne Westerkamp '84 as a way to provide a fun, competitive and engaging environment to students who may or may not be involved athletically. 


So far this year, teams have competed in kickball, hockey and volleyball tournaments, with the winners of each tournament taking on a faculty team. 


On Friday, February 2nd, the final volleyball showdown was held in front of the entire student body as a finale to Catholic Schools Week. In the end, it was student team 'Team Hunter Ross' as the champions, earning themselves bragging rights and an always coveted - dress-down day!


Students are eagerly awaiting to see what sport will be posted next!

Students Celebrate Chinese New Year

By Barb Dawson • February 11, 2025
Montini Catholic's World Language and international students celebrated Chinese New Year on Friday, February 7th. The Lasallian college preparatory students get together every year at this time to participate in a talent show and make, share and enjoy international cuisine. The event is planned and organized by Chinese Language teacher, Mrs. Sumin Xu and Montini's International Student Program Director, Mr. Art Stuart. During the program Mr. Stuart acknowledged all of Montini's International students saying, "Thank you for your trust in Montini and for the sacrifices you make to be a part of our faith community! We are here for you always." Mr. Stuart is proud to work with Cambridge Network to ensure the success of Montini's International Student Program. Founded in 2009, Cambridge Network is a one-stop turnkey service for international students seeking a high school education in the USA with a mission to expand Human Perspectives and World Harmony Through Education. Each year they work with Montini to secure passionate and caring host families for international students. While at Montini, International students are encouraged to assimilate to their new high school environment by getting involved in student life while at Montini. They look forward to Montini's Chinese New Year celebration each year to share a bit of their own culture with their new American friends. Chinese New Year is celebrated this year from January 29-February 12th - the year of the snake!
