Welcome Class of 2028
Building Sisterhood from Day One: Freshmen Orientation at St. Catherine Academy
An SCA student's journey begins with a strong foundation of sisterhood, starting on day one! On Monday, August 12, the Freshmen Orientation at Our Lady of the Fields Camp in Brighton, MI, set the stage for lasting friendships and experiences, with a day full of fun activities and opportunities for the girls to bond.
From prayer and reflection to hiking, canoeing, climbing, and team-building exercises, the freshmen faced every challenge with determination, confidence, and compassion. The photos from the day, captured by Melanie Reyes Photography, beautifully showcase the leadership and sisterhood that define our community.
A special thank you to our Executive Council for being such outstanding leaders throughout the day. Your guidance and enthusiasm truly set the tone for the year ahead.

As the first week continued, the focus shifted to academics, but the bond formed at Our Lady of the Fields will remain the cornerstone of their high school journey.
Welcome, Class of 2028! We are so glad to have you. As the 15th cohort of students to enter our hallways, remember that at St. Catherine Academy, "Girls Can" achieve anything together.
