2 ON CAMPUS Building a Legacy

Currently at capacity, Lowell Catholic is in the midst of a capital campaign to support the construction of a new academic building on the existing school campus. As the only Cath- olic secondary school in Lowell, Lowell Cath- olic recognizes both the exceptional opportunity and awesome responsibility we have to continue responding to the area’s demand for providing a quality, affordable, Catholic high school educational experience.

Our ability to meet the educational and spiritual needs of current and future students is being jeopardized by the size of our facility. A new building will allow Lowell Catholic to overcome the current challenge of schedule limitations and space constraints and continue the legacy of our founding schools by en- suring that a Catholic education remains ro- bust and accessible in the city of Lowell.

The Fulfilling the Legacy Campaign has been launched to raise $3 million to build a facility on the school’s current footprint. This new one-story building will accommodate addi- tional classrooms, a physics laboratory, an expanded dining facility, art room and a state- of- the-art Learning Commons. The addition- al space will allow scaling up of academic, co-curricular and spiritual life offerings in a meaningful way, enhancing the educational experience of current and future students in both the elementary and high school.

If you are interested in one of several naming opportunities and sponsorship levels that are available for this building project, please contact Nicole P. Sharpe, Director of Advancement, 3 at [email protected] or 978.452.1794 x136.

The students who attended the retreat successfully led the 6th, 7th and 8th grade elementary division retreats for Lowell Catholic as well as various events like freshman orientation, freshman retreat and freshman and elementary welcome nights.

MOCK TRIAL Lowell Catholic’s Mock Trial Team is a wonderful opportunity for students who are interested in pursuing a career in the field of Law to explore life in a courtroom first hand. The team competes against other schools in the region, crafting their defenses and arguing cases. Each year brings a new case and a new challenge. Mrs. Lisa Porell serves as a faculty advisor to the club and works closely with two local attorneys who assist as coaches. Many of Lowell Catholic’s co-curricular clubs offer exploration into a field of study or interest and help students discover scholarships and prepare for college.

Giving a Hoot about Nature

Pre-K through 8th grade students had the opportunity to learn about the delicate and fierce birds of prey that live right here in Massachusetts. Tom Ricardi from the Massachusetts Bird of Prey Rehab Facility has made it his mission to help people appreciate, respect and assist in the conservation of precious wildlife. The simple message he left the students with is “If you care, leave it there,” teaching them that they should always consult a professional and tell an adult before engaging with an animal in the wild. 16 HALL OF FAME
