From The Principal
Thank you to everyone that volunteered at our Open House last Sunday and to those of you who attended. Also a BIG thank you to Mr. Larson for planning and coordinating a very successful day. We had a record number of families attend.
Also, thank you to all who helped out on Thursday evening, with the Accreditation interviews. We appreciate all your help with this process through the surveys you all completed, to those participating in the various interviews and for allowing your students to participate as well.
The holiday seasons are upon us and that means cooler weather. Please continue to monitor your family’s health. If your student is not feeling well, keep them home and contact the office.

About Gross Catholic High School
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.
