St. Michael School Graduates for 60th Time

is sending children into their futures for the 60th year in a row. The Catholic school first opened in 1950, graduating its first class of eighth graders in 1951. Since then, 2,400 students have been educated by the Catholic school.

St. Michael School is a private, coeducational school that seeks to instill in its students an education based on faith, honesty, respect and Catholic values.

“A Catholic Education is truly an advantage for life,” said Rev. John Delaney of St. Michael Parish.

Saint Michael School teaches its students to honor and respect not only themselves, but their academics and community as well. The school educates students from early childhood through the eighth grade, accepting its students from the Greater Merrimack Valley and the parish community.

Many students from St. Michael School are involved with the community and in giving back the values that they gained through their Christian education. The Catholic school promotes community outreach, religious instruction, and also gospel values through prayer.

This year, 52 students from the Catholic school will be graduating. Many of its graduating students have been accepted into local prestigious schools.  Some of these schools include Brooks School, Central Catholic, Presentation of Mary, Academy of Notre Dame, Saint John’s Preparatory, Pingree and Governor’s Academy.

 “Saint Michael School graduates continue to stand out from their peers in both academics and community involvement,” said Principal Susan Gosselin.

The school has set many goals for itself. They strive to teach the needs of the community, a foundation of knowledge, appreciation for music and the arts, responsibility and respect for others, discipline, and work ethic and also a Catholic perspective.

The academic philosophy of St. Michael School is “an entity of love, faith, and exemplary education.”

“This year we celebrate 60 years and look forward to 60 more,” said Gosselin.
