"What a privilege to have taught Hazel over the last two years in ASL 1 & 2. Not only are her signs clear and precise, but her facial expressions add so much life to her new language skill. She is also encouraging to her peers and helps answer questions in class, and always leaves my room with a "thank you" and "have a good day." She is an excellent example of Cru Grit & Cru Respect. So proud of you, Hazel of the basil variety." Mrs. Heinrich nominates Freshman Dominic DiBari for Crusader of the Week for Chamber Choir. "Dominic is an excellent worker and performer. When I heard he was coming to Saint Henry and joining our chamber choir, I was excited to have him as a student. From the day I met him, I knew he would be a bright spot in my classroom. Dominic works to his full potential on every project he is a part of, including his leading role in our spring production. I am excited to see the growth he will show us in the coming years, and I am grateful he said "Yes" to St. Henry."

FRONT OFFICE

Dear Cru Families, As we near the end of the 2024–2025 school year, I’m filled with gratitude for our students, faculty, staff, and families. Each day, we’re blessed to grow in faith and community together. Beginning next year, we will conclude our daily prayer with “St. Henry, pray for us.” St. Henry, King of Germany and Holy Roman Emperor is known for using his leadership to strengthen the Catholic faith. I ask that you keep our students and staff—especially our seniors—in your prayers as we close out the school year. This year brought many highlights: retreats, leadership events, state tournaments, field trips, and strong academic success. We celebrated multiple Governor’s Scholars, welcomed 165 new students—our largest class ever—and continued leading the region in AP and AAIMS programs. These accomplishments reflect the commitment of our teachers and the support of you and our families. Looking ahead to 2025–2026, tuition will increase by 3% and fees by $25. We remain committed to making Catholic education accessible through financial aid, scholarships, and our summer work-study program. For questions, please get in touch with Connie Cornett at ccornett@shdhs.org. You can view the updated tuition rates here. Wishing you a restful Spring Break and a joyful Easter season.
