2021-2022 - Underclassman Awards, Thursday, October 13 - St. Scholastica Awards
The St. Scholastica Award is the highest academic honor for underclassmen at SHDHS. The students receiving this award demonstrated their mastery of multiple subjects and were nominated for several course awards by their teachers in various disciplines. In an unusual turn of events, ten students earned this award for their incredible performance last year. It is rare for more than five students to achieve this honor in a given year, but these ten students have earned it. It cannot be overstated how impressive their performance has been; they are determined, consistent, and intelligent young men and women.

This event recognizes donors who have endowed a scholarship at SHDHS and established and personally funded an SHDHS scholarship. This annual breakfast is an excellent opportunity for SHDHS honorary and memorial scholarship recipients to meet the benefactors who support their Catholic education. This year's event recognized supporters of the Charlotte Ruehl Flynn Memorial Scholarship, the June Kohorst Kroger Memorial Scholarship, the Sara Meineke Memorial Scholarship, the Stan Robinson Memorial Scholarship, the Brent Rouse Memorial Scholarship, the Bill Tobergte Memorial Scholarship, the Beth Wendling Memorial Scholarship, the Nick Wilde Memorial Scholarship, the Susan Wolff Memorial Scholarship, the Knights of St. John Honorary Scholarship, and the St. Vincent de Paul Honorary Scholarship.

Campus Ministry


On Tuesday, October 11, Students gave out "Donuts for Life," and Wednesday, October 12, Students put crosses in the circle to represent the many lives lost each day in the U.S. to abortion.
October is Respect Life Month. Every October, we consider why every human Life is valuable and reflect on how to build a culture that protects Life from conception to natural death. Crusaders for Life will participate in many events throughout October to raise awareness and learn more about how to help the vulnerable in our community.

"Education is not about knowing things or taking lessons but about being able to use three lingos: those of the head, the heart, and the hands... learning so that you can think about what you feel and do, can feel what you think and do, and can do what you feel and think. Unity within a person." Pope Francis
