SHG Student of Month

Hi, my name is Katelyn, and I am a Senior at Sacred Heart-Griffin. In the fall I had the opportunity to be a part of Kairos, K136! This retreat made me more aware of myself, my relationship with God, and the bonds that I grew with those around me. SHG has given me the gift of never being afraid to express my love for God and for that I am eternally grateful. Throughout my four years at SHG, I have learned that we are all unique and special in our own ways. I have learned that it is okay to work hard and strive for success, and SHG has allowed me to get an education in the best environment possible. SHG truly is my family and I cannot wait to take what I have learned onto the next chapter of my life. The memories that our student body have made as a whole will last a lifetime and I am proud to call myself a Cyclone.
 

Congratulations to the following SHG Seniors (LFS Class of 2014) for recently signing their letters of intent to play college sports. We are proud of your achievements!
