Montgomery Catholic 7th Grade Students Qualify for Duke Tips

Eighteen Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School Middle School students qualify for the Duke Tips program. That is more than one-third of the entire seventh grade class at Montgomery Catholic. The largest program of its kind, participants in the Duke TIP 7th Grade Talent Search identify academic strengths, develop abilities and interests, and celebrate their achievements at a crucial time when they are forming their identities and looking ahead to the future. TIP assists families in determining how advanced their students’ academic abilities are and what level of educational challenge is appropriate.

As part of the talent search enrollment, Duke TIP registers eligible seventh graders to take either the ACT (no writing) or the SAT as an above-level test. This allows students to have greater insight into their abilities and it gives them the opportunity to preview a college entrance exam.

Montgomery Catholic's qualifying students are: Catherine Aaron, Sadie Bartels, James Bender, Grace Hoffman, Ailish Gilbert, Carissa Gilbert, Angeles Gonzalez, Zach Izer, Layne Jordan, Ella Newell, William Noell, Brian Povilus, Matthew Reardon, Samuel Rogers, Jacob Talbot, Alex Thurman, Hall Triplett and
Maggie Turner.

Catholic Class of 2011 Alum John Talbot visits Campus

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School was excited to have John Talbot, class of 2011, stop by campus to speak with students about what the future holds after leaving the halls of MCPS.

Talbot, a third generation Knight, is the son of Mike ' 82 and Angel Talbot of Wetumpka. He is a 2016 graduate of Auburn University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and leaves for California late this summer to begin graduate work at Stanford.

Talbot was happy to come back to his Alma Mater at the invitation of his former teacher Dr. Joe Profio. He was able to share his experience as a student at Montgomery Catholic and how it prepared him for work at the university level. Talbot is looking forward to the future and Montgomery Catholic is thankful for the gift of time he gave back to his first school.

Montgomery Catholic will look forward to hearing about the future successes for Talbot and all of our hard working Alumni. Go Knights!

Montgomery Catholic Elementary Campuses Start the Year with Fun

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School's  St. Bede and Holy Spirit campuses start the year off learning the rules and getting to know each other. Mrs. Mary Pear's sixth grade class at the MCPS St. Bede campus kicked off the year with a friendly game of "Dot Math". Nicolas Calandra and Grant Eady compete to see who can win the game by connecting dots to make the most squares and answering fun math questions correctly.  While at the Holy Spirit campus Austin Taylor and Aubrey Sadler from Mrs. Mary Walker's K4 class were the first students to visit the treasure box in Mrs. Ceasar's office. Following the rules is a BIG deal in K4, and these two students were rewarded for being safe, respectful and responsible.

Montgomery Catholic teachers, students and their families are excited about this new school year.
