Dear Holy Spirit Prep Families
On this last day of classes for our Graduating Class of 2022, I am reminded of these words:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
God bless our Seniors!
In Christ,
Ed

These prep sessions are open to all 5th-11th grade girls interested in trying out for middle school, varsity, and/or game day cheer. We will focus on strength and conditioning for motions, jumps, stunts, and tumbling. We ask that you sign up for each session you plan on attending, so that we can plan accordingly.

Dear HSP families in Christ,
High school students are invited to our second Summer Leadership Course.
The objective of this course is to bring young men and women in front of some business leaders where they will have the opportunity to interact with them. The men and women will be able to share their stories about what they did to make it to the position they are in, what attracted them, some of the principles they use to guide their lives, and what role Faith plays in this journey.
We will be staying at Georgia Tech, where we will be commuting as a group to visit the business leaders, either in their offices, homes, or other venues.
Dates for the course are June 12-19. Arriving Sunday (June 12) evening and departing Sunday (June 19) morning after Mass.
Activities consist of visiting places of work, planning and running a service project, learning classic etiquette, enjoying time for games, and participating in the Sacraments.
Should you have any questions, please contact:
Fr. Andrew Gronotte

Thank you to everyone who came out to the High School Spring Art Show and Concert last night.
Those in attendance had the opportunity to view artworks from all of the high school art classes, and listen to music performed by the Orchestra, Choir, Band, and a few featured soloists, Issac Olguin and Katie Lambremont.
We even showcased our first student conductor, Adam Young, who conducted the Wind Symphony. The students enjoyed displaying their talents for you and really appreciated all of the positive feedback after the performance. The Lower and Middle school students will be presenting their art show and concert on Friday May 13th at 6:00 pm in the Lower School gym. Hope to see you there.
