From The Principal
Thanksgiving break is quickly approaching as well and soon December will be here. Semester exams are December 14th, 15th and 16th. Please remind your student to stay on top of their academics so that they are prepared for their semester exams and don’t feel rushed and unprepared.
Remember there is no school on Monday, November 14th and the office will be closed as well. Classes will resume on Tuesday, Nov. 15th. Thanksgiving break is Nov. 23rd through Nov. 27th with classes resuming on Monday, Nov. 28th.
Again, thank you for all your cooperation and working with us at school as we approach the end of our first semester. It truly does take a village to help our students become the best version of themselves as they can be.

About Gross Catholic
Gross Catholic, a co-educational, college preparatory high school, began its proud heritage of academic excellence rooted in the Marianist tradition in 1968. We consider ourselves one of the best Catholic schools in Omaha, Bellevue, and Papillion. The school motto Dux Esto (“Be a Leader”) is at the core of its extraordinary mission, innovative spirit, and fundamental values. The school offers a challenging environment and outstanding quality of life, both in academics and co-curricular activities, with a strong focus on STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) education. The spirit of Christian service and giving back is part of everything the school does. Gross Catholic’s top-tier status is reflected in its talented faculty, staff, and coaches who take great pride in seeing virtually every graduate head to college, often to the most prestigious domestic and international universities and service academies. Together with families and alumni, Gross Catholic forges relationships for a lifetime, helping to ready the next generation to be exemplary, principled leaders of the world.
