- Congratulations Graduates! This graduation season, we spoke with two of our newest alums, Alonzo Doby and Selena Ortiz-Bell, both members of COS Class of ’24. They share their plans for high school and reflect on how COS prepared them for their next steps. We also talked to three alums from the class of ’20 as they prepared to graduate from high school: Marly Rodriguez, Lydia Sanchez and Adriana Silva. They left COS at the height of the pandemic which created distinct challenges for them as freshmen at new schools. Learn how they overcame obstacles to find their unique paths forward.
- Message from Father Steve – I am pleased to announce that Father Paul Treacy, Pastor of the Church of the Assumption, has now also been appointed to be the new Canonical Administrator at Community of Saints. I will continue to be active in supporting the work of COS through Alums & Friends & Families (A&F&F). Together we have worked to raise the funds to pay for Catholic education of students from families with modest incomes. Parents of these children never thought a Catholic school was within reach for their family.
- Meet Father Paul Treacy, New Canonical Administrator at COS – Father Paul has been the pastor at Church of the Assumption since 2017 and has been a member of the COS school board for the past two years. He has a deep commitment to the school’s mission and vision, and he is actively engaged in moving our school forward.
- NASA Astronaut Visits COS – Duane Gene “Digger” Carey shared his story with middle school students. He is a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force and former NASA astronaut. In 2002, he piloted the space shuttle Columbia during a mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
- Congratulations to Isaac Garcia ’20 – Isaac is the recipient of the annual Archbishop John Ireland Award awarded by Cretin-Derham Hall High School (CDH).
- COS Has a New Advancement Director – This June, Natalie Hartung trades her role as the 5th grade teacher at COS to become the school’s new advancement director, a position previously held by Doug Lieser. In her new job she will support fundraising, community outreach, and student enrollment efforts at COS.
