In their deep dive, they have had the opportunity to act out a dramatic interpretation of some scenes. Students were eager to perform with their peers in the Blackbox theater! All of this has culminated into the assassination of Caesar, which happened this week. Et tu Brute? |
Athletic NewsA Message from the boy’s Lacrosse Coach I hope everyone had a great "post covid" summer and is settled into the new school year. I would like to commend you for deciding to commit your family (and your resources) to Catholic education, especially a Catholic education at St. Henry. The administration and staff pride themselves on providing the best quality scholastic education combined with the teachings of the Church to ensure our students have a well-rounded high school experience. My wife Michele and I believe it was one of the best decisions we have ever made for our two sons. We are looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you into the "CRU NATION."

Crusaders of the Week
Mrs. VonHandorf nominates Addison Millsap Crusader of the Week. Addison is nominated because of her consistent quality of art, her creative thought, and her determination to get better and learn. She is so much fun to have in class and sets a great example for her peers. She also willingly offers helpful and constructive criticism. WAY TO ROCK ADDISON!! The Crusader of the Week for Latin 3 is Henry Barsan. For the past 3 years, Henry has impressed his teacher and classmates with his quick grasp of the Latin language. He is an active participant in class, both sharing and discussing his translations with ease. When reviewing difficult grammar concepts, Henry’s classmates can always count on him to remember how to decline a difficult noun or translate an irregular verb. He is an outstanding member of our Latin 3 team. Congratulations Henry!

"Hi, My name is Brad Whittle, and I am studying to be a Priest! I Graduated from St. Henry in 2015 and went to study education at UC. When I graduated in 2020, I entered Seminary! I love to write and record music (available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube), and my favorite movie is Lord of the Rings. My favorite saints are Padre Pio, Therese of Lisieux, and Bernard of Clairvaux.If you have never seriously considered a vocation to Priesthood or Religious Life, I highly encourage it. There is so much joy and peace in following the call God has placed on your heart. You’ll never know what he has in store for you until you ask! (Jeremiah 29:11) SHDHS is a great place to grow in holiness and find out that call! I hope you let good ol’ SHS (rah rah rah!) continue to help you become a saint. You won’t be disappointed! Maybe one day, you’ll be someone else’s favorite saint." Several years ago, Brad donated a kidney to a stranger in need! Is he as amazing as he sounds? Yes. Was he a normal student to teach? Yes! Mr. Fay remembers him to be a combination of "quirky, dorky, athletic, and spiritual," and Mrs. Poat remembers how off-topic he was, “like Tigger bouncing from one thing to the next and is very grateful that he bounced into the seminary”. He is an inspiring person to follow on Facebook. Some of Brad's musical accomplishments:
