St. John Paul II High School Junior Armando Rivera was selected and invited to compete in Ames, Iowa, for nationals to represent the State of Texas this summer.
The Office of Catholic Schools hosted a Professional Development Day for teachers in the Diocese of Corpus Christi on Aug. 9 at St. John Paul High School. Guest speaker Dr. Richard Grant, a licensed psychologist who specializes in Myers-Briggs consulting and training, challenged Catholic school teachers to learn about themselves and each other’s personality types.
The excitement was palatable for students and teachers as they eased into their first day of the 2022-2023 school year in the Diocese of Corpus Christi. Most schools started their first day of school on Aug. 11, except for Incarnate Word Academy (IWA) elementary, middle and high school levels, which began on Aug. 8.
Incarnate Word Academy welcomed students and families to the campus for their annual Angel Check-In Registration on Aug. 4. New and returning students and families met with friends and teachers, collected spirit clothing, and completed forms for the registration process.
The Office of Catholic Schools begins the school year with a Spiritual Day for diocesan and parochial teachers in the Diocese of Corpus Christi on Aug. 8.
