Join in celebrating National Catholic Schools Week

Jan 27-Feb 1, 2013

 Catholic schools across the nation are celebrating this special week under the theme "Raise the Standards."  Here, at Everest Academy, we have several activities planned for students and families.  Thank you to our school community for helping us to live our school motto: "Semper Altius - Always Higher", a perfect compliment to this year's theme of raising standards!


 




Everest students pray for and compete to support Seminarians

Everest Academy students have been using National Vocations Awareness Week as an opportunity to pray for local seminarians, as well as to raise money to support their education.
