Principal's Welcome Message


St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School

Dear St. Carlo Acutis Students and Families,

It is with great joy and excitement that we welcome you to St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School, a vibrant new learning community rooted in faith, excellence, and hope for the future!

Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, approximately 1,300 students will learn within our state-of-the-art school community, a space intentionally designed to support both academic achievement and spiritual growth. As students continue their educational journey with us, they will be invited to deepen their relationship with Christ, discover their gifts, and develop the knowledge and skills needed to flourish in a rapidly changing world.

St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School embraces a 21st-century learning philosophy that emphasizes collaboration, engagement, hands-on learning, and focused studies. Our approach encourages curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, and meaningful connections—preparing students not only for post-secondary pathways, but for lives of purpose and service.

In addition to a full range of high school academic programming, students will have access to two exciting learning opportunities:

Advanced Placement (AP) Program
The Advanced Placement program is designed for motivated students seeking academically rigorous, post-secondary level coursework. Through AP, students may earn university or college credit, advanced placement, or both, providing a strong foundation for future academic success.
 
Hockey Academy
Our Hockey Academy offers high-quality athletic instruction for student-athletes whose educational experience is enhanced through hockey-specific training. Students will participate in on- and off-ice development, team building, and skill enhancement that supports the physical, mental, and tactical demands of the sport. Above all, the program fosters leadership, discipline, and character—both on and off the ice.

For the 2026–2027 school year, St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School will open with Grades 10 and 11. In the 2027–2028 school year, the school will expand to include Grades 10, 11, and 12, growing alongside our students as they move toward graduation.

Inspired by our patron, Saint Carlo Acutis, we strive to form young people who use their gifts with integrity, compassion, and faith. As we begin this exciting chapter together, we remain committed to our belief that:

“Providing our students with the best possible learning environment significantly enhances the opportunities for their educational journey and beyond.”
 - Board Chair Sandra Palazzo.


We look forward to welcoming you into our community and walking alongside you as you learn, grow, and thrive at St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School.


With blessings and anticipation,
Dr. Susan Coates, Principal
