When you look back on high school a million memories will flood into your mind. Memories give you something to hold on to even when something has ended. At St. Rose we are blessed with so many traditions that can serve as lasting memories for high school. Make sure you take advantage of all of them while you have the opportunity.
These are the Top Ten Memories for a St. Rose student:
- Senior Trip to Disney: This trip is an unforgettable experience to have with your class. The 18 hour bus ride, four days in all the Disney parks, and all your friends all together is a hallmark of the St. Rose experience.
- Kairos: This retreat is a moving and eye opening experience that will grow your faith and expand your relationships with your classmates. It is afoul day retreat in Cape May that allows you to unplug and be present in the moment to connect with your faith and others.
- Sports: Whether it’s going to the annual soccer game against Wall, sitting in the student section at the basketball games, Friday night hockey games, or participating on your own team, these are the moments you will treasure. The games we won as a team or the lessons we learned from losing.
- Inaugural: This dance starts the year off with a fun night to get dressed up and dance the night away with your friends. It also celebrates the new Student Council members.
- Prom: Junior and senior prom are unforgettable nights for everyone in high school. These are the two dances that will stick out the most in your high school memories. You will treasure the pictures from that night ad always remember the fantastic time you had with your friends.
- Clash of the Classes: This brings the entire school community together to compete against each other. Whether you are participating in the events or watching from the bleachers, it is a day to celebrate your class and of course watch the seniors win.
- Class trips: Spending the entire day with you class is such a memorable experience. Going to the Franklin Institute, Chelsea Piers, or a Broadway show
- Bonfire on the beach: This event celebrates the fall athletes and is a fun way to kick off the school year. With the DJ and watching all of the teams dance, it is always entertaining to attend.
- Fall Drama & Spring Musical: Going to the plays and supporting your classmates is always a fun time. The singing and the dancing will exceed your expectations. Being in the cast, stage crew, or the makeup crew is a great activity to be involved in.
Mr. St. Rose: This competition never fails to make you laugh. Watching senior boys dance and sing their way through the male pageant brings the whole school together for an entertaining afternoon.
