On behalf of the Department of Catholic Schools, I am pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the 2026 Angel Award: a special recognition honoring teachers, principals, and pastors in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles who serve as inspirations and embody our Core and Pastoral Values. Please see the award flyer and criteria here ANGEL AWARD (LINK). We would LOVE it if you could nominate your favorite teacher for this award. Students may wear red or pink shirts with school bottoms on Friday.  Homework Club is looking into offering additional afterschool classes & they'd like to know what our families would be interested.
