Transfer Student Meetings
SHDHS has its monthly transfer students meeting. Transfer students were taught with student-led programming everything a transfer student would need to know about SHDHS, and then they took some time to have a little fun. This month was a mummy contest followed by cookie cake! The students had fun, got to know some of their classmates better, and, hopefully, can feel even more connected to SHDHS.

Crusaders of the Week
Mrs. Michele Ryan and Mrs. Laci Shea are proud to recognize Sam Brown as Crusader of the Week. In his short time at SHDHS, Sam has emulated what it means to be a Crusader. Sam treats his teachers and fellow students with respect, as he comes to class prepared and is always willing to help answer a question about an assignment or lend a fellow student his Chromebook charger. Sam has remained focused academically while playing soccer, meeting his weekly goals and making adjustments when needed. Most of all, Sam has shown CRU grit when faced with obstacles and met these challenges with humility. We are proud of you, Sam - keep up the excellent work!
The Crusader of the Week for Mr. Gish's Accounting I class is John Lubert. John brings meaningful questions to class discussions and exhibits critical thinking when analyzing business financials. He is always willing to help other students improve their understanding of accounting concepts. John displays a Christian attitude through his kindness and respect for his peers. Congratulations John! It is truly a pleasure to have John in my Accounting class.

Girls Cross Country recap
The girl's cross-country team had a great season. We won the panda classic and Diocese this year. We also placed better than last year at almost all other meets. We ended our season with a third-place finish at the state meet. With all our success, the most important was the bonds the girls formed and the fun we all had.
Boys Cross Country Recap
The Crusaders began the season ranked 3rd in Class A. We started the year on June 6 and got right to work. The team instantly bonded, and we worked hard and played hard. We took trips to Bluegrass Running Camp, a canoe trip, a pool party, an outdoor movie night, a water balloon relay, and several other fun activities. After the dead period, we kicked off our season with the traditional midnight run, a 2-mile out and back from the old St. Henry High School. We stressed the importance of daily practice and holding each other accountable. Summer practices were going great, and the team showed up and got the mileage in together. Our team started the season great at our first (Tiger Run) race! We had fast times out of our team and competed well with some big schools. We kept the momentum going, went to the Ryle Invitational the following week, and won 1st place as a team. The following week we went back down to Louisville and competed at Rumble. This was a turning point because we raced well against some fast teams and won 1st place. At this point, I could tell that this team was going to do big things this year. We ran at SNL and the NKAC. In both of these races, we dealt with some issues. We dealt with sickness and fatigue. We lost the conference meet, but I was confident we would bounce back for the Diocese and Regionals. At Diocese, we won a closely contested match against Villa. It was a big momentum swing from this point on to the end of the season. When we lined up at Regionals, we dropped the hammer. We won by 20 points, and our team was dialed in. At the state meet, we felt confident. We felt that Highlands Latin was our biggest competition. The gun went off, and Dixon took control of the race. Our top 5 were through the mile in under 5:20. They didn't let up. We put four guys in the top 15 and dominated the race, winning by 50 points. Dixon was the overall Class A champion with a time of 16:03. It was a fantastic performance by the team, and I can't thank my coaching staff and parents enough for their support all season.
Volleyball Recap
2022 brought some excellent and competitive volleyball to all three Crusader volleyball teams. A big highlight of the season was competing in the Nike Tournament of Champions in Tampa (August). It was a fantastic experience for players, staff, and parents. The squad captured the District Championship Title but dropped to the Pandas of NDA in an epic 4th set by a score of 36-34 in the Regional Tournament. The varsity volleyball team completed their season with an impressive 25-8 record. The JV team was just as amazing with a 17-5 record, while the first-year team had a history of 18-2, dropping only to Assumption & Ursula. Thanks to all for your support and enthusiasm this entire season.
