School News

On April 25, St. Mark's Cathedral School student-athletes in grades 5-8 gathered with their families to be recognized by their coaches at the annual Athletic Banquet in the Parish Hall. Ninety-three percent of students participated in eight sports this year - cheer, volleyball, cross country, golf, swimming, tennis, soccer, and basketball. This year, the Lions took home three team championships (5th/6th girls basketball, 7th/8th girls basketball, and 5th/6th grade soccer) and two team runner-up titles (8th grade soccer, swimming). Both the volleyball and tennis seasons are still in progress.

Thank you to our P.E. coaches Aaron Begman, Willie Jackson, and Jessica Lee and to our parent and teacher volunteers for planning the Athletic Banquet!

Congratulations to all 2023-2024 student-athletes for their hard work and dedication!
