Dear Parents and Students-
In August of 1921, Saint Elizabeth High School opened - In August of 2010, for the 89th time Saint Elizabeth High School will open for another school year. Perhaps you, like some of us at school, have heard rumors and gossip about S.E.H. closing. Any talk about school closure is without truth. If you hear such gossip, please ask the person where their source of authority lies. Thank you for spreading the truth and encouraging your friends and interested individuals to consider St. Elizabeth High School, if they are looking for an affordable, Catholic school secondary education for their children.
If you are in need of ANY TYPE of tuition assistance for the 2010 -2011, school year, YOU MUST complete a PSAS application and return it to school by Friday, February 26. You may pick up your PSAS packet in the mail office. Also available in the office are academic scholarships applications; students with a 3.25 GPA or higher SHOULD APPLY.
On Monday, February 8, the entire S.E.H. school community will be involved in a SERVICE DAY. The day will focus on a unique and exciting day of prayer, reflection, and service to a variety of community organizations in the East Bay. (Please refer to the Service Day Committee Letter, found in this Newsletter, for the day’s schedule.)
“More than any other program of education sponsored by the Church, students in a Catholic school have the opportunity and obligation to be unique, contemporary, and oriented to Christian service . . .oriented to Christian services because it helps students acquire skills, virtues, and habits of heart required for effective service to others.”

As we celebrate Black History Month and Valentine’s, we recall and celebrate the courageous heart, great contributions and tenacity of our African American sisters and brothers to our society. We are mindful of all those individuals who show love, goodness, understanding, peace, forgiveness, reconciliation, joy, enthusiasm, generosity, creativity, friendship, compassion, hospitality, wonder, courage, acceptance and unconditional love. They have Heart! We are all called to “have heart!”
Please be advised that March 29, 30 and 31 are school days. Special Session is an opportunity for students to experience learning through various enrichment activities and service projects. Students are not free to opt out and begin Easter break early. Please make certain that your child has signed-up for his/her class and/or activity.
Thank you for reading the important information in this Newsletter. Please mark important dates on your calendar.
Blessings and Joy!
Sister Mary Liam Brock, O.P.
