Today during FOCUS, we welcomed Dr. Betsy Guerra, a psychologist and speaker who helps people navigate adversity and grief through faith, psychology and storytelling. As part of the Theology IV: Discipleship class’ current conversation around grief, loss and hope, she met with seniors to share her personal journey.

Through her story, she spoke about navigating loss, the emotions that accompany it and the process of healing over time. Her honesty and vulnerability created a meaningful space for reflection, reminding our students of the importance of compassion, resilience and supporting one another through life’s most difficult moments.

Tune in to Ms. Noriega ’88’s Precalculus with Trigonometry Honors class as students wrap up their unit on graphing trigonometric functions, reinforcing key concepts and the connections between equations and their graphs.

Throughout the lesson, students explored how transformations affect each function, examining changes in amplitude and period as well as horizontal and vertical shifts. They also analyzed domain and range, reflections and vertical asymptotes, strengthening their understanding of how each component of an equation shapes its graph.

Members of the Class of 2027 spent two days off campus earlier this week for their Junior Retreat, deepening their faith and strengthening the bonds of sisterhood.

Rooted in the IHM charism of fidelity, the retreat emphasized the importance of stillness and prayer in nurturing a faithful heart. Juniors explored new forms of prayer, offering meaningful ways to grow in their relationship with God.

A heartfelt thank you to our Campus Ministry Team and Peer Ministers for guiding our juniors through this spiritually enriching experience.
