Class of 2019 Senior Graduation Survey:

SENIOR SURVEY CLICK HERE

All Seniors are required to complete a Senior Survey to ensure that the end of the year programs and presentations are correct and provide accurate information. This includes important parish information and post-secondary decision as well as ALL scholarship information and awards/recognitions (including colleges applied to but not attending). After all the hard work to earn those accolades, the surveys help to make sure they are seen and heard!

Graduation Announcements Orders

ORDER ANNOUNCEMENTS HERE

****IMPORTANT MEMO FOR SENIORS WHO STILL WANT TO ORDER GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS: The reason that Bishop McCort no longer appeared on the scroll down tab on the National Recognition Products website is that they had sold all the announcements they had printed. The company will print more and you will be able to order--Bishop McCort--will appear on the scroll down tab again; however, submit all orders to the National Recognition Products website by the end of business on Monday, May 6, 2019, so the company knows how many to print. That way those who want them will have them.****
