School Chapel Nearing Completion

This year Our Lady Star of the Sea School will be Christ-Centered in a new and meaningful way. Over the summer, dedicated parishioners have been transforming the former resource room into an Adoration Chapel. The tabernacle is on its way and finishing touches are in progress. We expect the chapel to be completed by mid-September and for this to be transformational for our school.

Thanks to everyone who supported this Fund-An-Item project at our SCOPE Auction last April.

Safety First!

Because of construction in our Parish Center, there are a few changes to our normal flow of the day at school.

Students arriving at school will gather in Kiwanis Park. In case of inclement weather, students will gather in the cafeteria.
In the morning, Star Care students will check in with their parent at the John Paul II Youth Center.
Our Safety Patrol will continue to serve in the mornings and afternoons along 5th Street for dropping off and picking up students.
In the afternoon, Star Care students can be picked up in the school cafeteria.

The construction area has been fully fenced with no access for the students. The construction company, the city and Mark Powell worked together to ensure the safety of all on the Star of the Sea campus.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time of transition as we Fulfill the Vision for our parish.

Meet Your School Commission

The School Commission is an advisory board that supports the Principal.

Led by Ashley Sokel - Chair, Chris Miller – Vice Chair, Stephanie Codorniz – Secretary, this group gives parent perspective on school policies. Another key role is supporting the ongoing development of the school by increasing enrollment and fundraising. They are a great resource for our parents and our parish.
