Did you know?

Tuition at Catholic schools in the Diocese of Southern Nebraska covers only 25%–45% of the actual cost of education. The remaining cost is supported through parishes, fundraising efforts, and generous donors who believe in the value of Catholic education.

As expenses like technology, security, building maintenance, insurance, and curriculum resources continue to rise, your support helps keep Catholic education both excellent and affordable for families across our diocese.

By investing in the Good Shepherd Scholarship Fund, you are helping strengthen vibrant Catholic schools and opening doors for students to grow in faith, knowledge, and community.

Yard games, burgers and hotdogs on the grill thanks to the Knights of Columbus Council 1126, banana splits, and teachers as crossing guards are all great ways to spend the last day of school.
Have a great summer to all St. Patrick School students, faculty, staff, Patrick Norm, and families!

Joan Bass presented Mrs. Amanda Peterson with the McCook Chamber of Commerce Educator of the Year Award during the Lower Grade Award Ceremony at St. Patrick School. 💚

Mrs. Peterson was pleasantly surprised to see her family take time to attend and support her as well. 💚

Mrs. Peterson was recognized for her dedication to students, education and the McCook community. She was honored for creating a fun, engaging and supportive classroom environment while helping young students grow and succeed — especially in reading. 💚

A McCook Community College softball alum, she continued her education and graduated with honors as an elementary teacher. She is currently working toward her master’s degree while continuing to invest in her students each day. 💚

Beyond the classroom, Peterson was also recognized for her involvement in coaching, church and community activities, helping support children both in and out of school. 💚

This award is made possible by the family of the late Allen Strunk.
