The month of May is almost here and the weather is finally warming up. Please encourage your students to stay focused and work hard. There is still a great deal of instructional time left. The teachers still have plenty of academics to cover and review so the students are prepared for next year. Congratulations to Kristin Drummond for finishing third in the state science fair! This was quite an accomplishment. Lastly, thank you to everyone who participated in the Schoolhouse 5K race.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

Bus Driver Needed This is a very important program for our school and Lexington Catholic. Please spread the word to all your friends who have a valid CDL license.
If the sound of children laughing, singing and playing is music to your ears, we’re interested in talking with you. Lexington Catholic High School has an immediate opening for a School Bus Driver with a valid CDL license. The successful candidate will have experience driving a bus as well as working with children, and we’re anxious to talk with anyone who has transported school-aged kids to school in the past. Our Bus Drivers are an essential part in our educational system, and we value their contributions. We offer excellent opportunities and a competitive wage to the right individual. If you are interested please contact David Gadberry at [email protected]
