• Shine On!

Seniors will be invited to drive onto campus between 8:20-9 p.m. through the St. Rita entrance and loop around the campus before exiting onto Inwood Road (students must remain inside their vehicle at all times and walk ups will not be permitted). We are proud of our seniors and know that they will continue to Shine On!
