St. Mary's High School - Inspired by Faith

As part of our award-winning STEM curriculum, students in Introduction to Engineering Design get to design and create "Happy Meal" toys. There's no better way to test them and get feedback than with the Pre-K students at Divine Redeemer Catholic School. Thank you to Divine Redeemer for hosting our Pirates!

St. Mary's Pirates got their yearbooks today! As the school year starts to wrap up, it's fun to look back on all the memories we've created this year. Thank you to Mrs. Kavanaugh and all the students in the Print Media class for their hard work on the yearbook!

It's not too late to sign up for STEM Camp 2024! Open to all rising 6th - 8th graders. No better way to spend a week of Summer than flying planes, launching rockets, visiting the Air Force Academy, and so much more! Please email Mark Strub with questions: mstrub@smhscs.org.

Congratulations to St. Mary's junior, Olivia Davalos, for winning the Regional 3A Tennis Championship in 1 singles, and senior, Carmen Gonzalez, for taking 2nd place in 2 singles! Olivia and Carmen will play in the State Tournament next week on May 9-11 at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs, so get out there and support them. Go Pirates!

Last weekend may not have been ideal track and field weather (several inches of snow isn't conducive to running), but our St. Mary's Pirates track and field team didn't let that stop them. - Jackson Neppl '23 earned two state titles (in the 1600m and the 800m), and finished fourth in the 3200m, finishing faster than the school record and setting a personal best in the event. - Lyndon Gotelaere '23 placed second in the 3200m and set a new school and personal record of 9:42 in that event. He had a PR and finished 11th overall in the 1600m. - Hannah Turpin '23 finished second in the long jump - Our boys 4x400 replay team (Alex Bodnar' 23, Jacob Limb '22, James Beam '24, Jackson Neppl '23) finished fourth and tied its PR - Owen Barton '22 made the podium taking seventh in the long jump and finished 13th in the 100m Dash - Alex Bodnar '23 finished 13th in the 3200m and set a personal record. Coach Nicole Robinson said that she could not be more proud of everything this team has accomplished not only at state but throughout the season! Way to go, Pirates! #SMHSPiratePride #SMPirateTrack #PiratesAchieve (photos, day 1: Steve Bodnar; photo of Neppl with medal: Nicole Robinson)

Jackson Neppl '23, pictured left at an indoor track meet earlier this season, took third overall in the 800m at the 2022 Adidas Track Nationals this weekend in Virginia Beach. He ran a new personal record for in the event with a time of 1:57.74. He also ran a new PR in the 400m with a 52.09. His first season of running indoor track was one to remember for Neppl. He qualified for nationals in late February at the Real Training Indoor Meet. His times at the event rank as some of the fastest run by a St. Mary's athlete in these events. His 800m 1:58.50 at the qualifying event was the second fastest in St. Mary’s history, while his 52.21 in the 400m was the third fastest in SMHS history. Congratulations, Jackson! #SMHSPIratePride #SMHSPiratesAchieve #SMHSUnitedByCommunity
