Catholic Students Enjoy Celebrating Christmas on Campus

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School students enjoyed preparing for Christmas at all campuses. The Middle and High School campuses decorated the school and made service part of their preparation for the Christmas season. The Middle School sponsored children through the angle tree program and were able to shop and donate toys and cloths for those less fortunate, welcomed Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi to campus and ended the semester with a Christmas Talent Show. The High School campus supported Children's Hospital with toy donations through the Key Club and Common Ground Montgomery's Christmas Store through the Young Women's Leadership club's Tacky Sweater fundraiser. Our elementary campuses both performed in their own Christmas plays, the choir sang at the Crump Senior Center and the students enjoyed a visit with Santa. All Catholic campuses participated in the band Christmas concert held on December 11 and supported the St. Vincent De Paul canned food drive.  A festive and giving season for the students. 

Merry Christmas from Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School, where students are becoming persons of Faith, Virtue and Wisdom.

Montgomery Catholic Club Sends Gifts to Children's Hospital Sugar Plum Shop

Carrie Woodling, a senior in the Key Club at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School, made a suggestion in a Key Club meeting at school one day that the club should send gifts to the children who have to be in the hospital at Christmas time.  The suggestion was in response to fellow senior and Key Club Division 14  Lt. Governor Derek Kelly's request for service project ideas from the club.  After that meeting, Carrie took the reins of that project, researched ideas, and found information on the Children's Hospital website all about the Sugar Plum Shop; a place where parents of children in the hospital can select gifts for their children. Carrie made signs to put up around the Montgomery Catholic High School campus and collected a wide variety of gifts for boys and girls of all ages. She then enjoyed delivering them to the hospital in early December.  Also, pictured are Catholic senior Ann Faulkner(left) and Derek Kelly (right).

At the AHSAA State Cross Country Championships at the Oakville Indian Mounds Park near Moulton, AL on Saturday, November 8, 2014 Montgomery Catholic’s Amaris Tyynismaa shattered a multitude of records in becoming the fastest female runner in AHSAA history.  Tyynismaa clocked a very impressive 17:03.04 time over the 5000 meter course which broke the 4A, meet, and course record formerly held by Carmen Carlos Carlos of McGill-Toolen Catholic High School by over 15 seconds. In addition to making Amaris the fastest runner in Alabama this year, her time puts her in the top 15 nationally for all high school runners. 

The Racing Knights finished fourth in the team competition as all of the girls on the team ran personal best times or season best times.  Montgomery Catholic placed all five scorers in the top 30 as freshman Katelyn Stark finished 18^th and eighth grader Grace Leslie, freshman Sarah Beth Littrell, and senior Carlye Schmidt packed together in 25^th, 27^th, and 28^th. Other finishers on the team included freshman Annabel Starrett, eighth grader Chloe Smith, senior Ann Faulkner, senior Katie Reeves, and junior Lacy Herbek.

For the Boys, Montgomery Catholic qualified three individuals.  Eighth grader Grant Walker emerged as one of the best of his year group in the state with his sparkling 16th place finish in 17:34.91.  His time establishes him as the best eighth grader in MCPS Cross Country history.  Junior Patrick Gregorius powered home in a personal best of 18:39.71 for 53^rd and was followed closely by sophomore Angel Padilla in 18:49.07.

This marked the ninth consecutive year that Montgomery Catholic has sent at least one full team to the State Championships in Cross Country and the sixth year in a row that at least one All State performer was named from the team.  Amaris is the first individual state champion in the sport from Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School.

The Racing Knights are coached by John Terino and assistant coach Brianna Lisenby.
