The first day of the 2010-2011 school year is now history. Thanks and kudos to our Principals, faculty and staff for making sure that all was in order, appropriate and necessary preparations were successfully implemented, and students and their families were welcomed with open arms. As I went from school to school, it was amazing to witness the outpouring of love, warmth and genuine kindness being displayed by our OCS staff. It made me proud to be a member of an incredible team who approaches the opportunity to serve with genuine enthusiasm and boundless joy.

I am pleased to inform you our first day enrollment number is 1285. We began the 2009-2010 school year with 1266 students and ended the year with 1275 students. Certainly, on behalf of our teachers, administrators and staff I say thank you to all who have chosen OCS as their Catholic education partner. I am more convinced every day that we exist, and gain much strength, because of that choice being made by each of our families. The sacrifice being made in an environment where that choice has a price tag called tuition, is awe inspiring and absolutely worthy of celebration. May God shower His blessings and grace on our families through their continued sacrifice.

I appreciate all you do to help us fulfill our mission of excellence in Catholic faith formation and academics. As always, your comments and insights are important to me. I can be reached via phone at 852-8028 and email at ken.rasp@owensborocatholic.org.
God's Peace!
