HMS had a little visitor today! He came to sniff out who had been naughty and play a little dodge ball!

Cardinal Boys fall to Liberty 28-47. Good season boys! We are Cardinal Proud!

Good battle by our Lady Cards. You may have fallen to Halstead 17-18 but you played your tails off and gave an excellent effort. Way to make us proud!

School phones are currently down. For communication email afrench@usd431.net
