MISSION STATEMENT
Seton Catholic Schools, a pre-kindergarten through grade twelve coeducational
ministry of St. Andrew, St. Mary, and Holy Family parishes, provide students of
all faiths and beliefs an environment of academic excellence sustained and en-
riched by the Gospel values of love, faith, justice, and the inherent dignity of
each individual. The faculty of Seton Catholic Schools strives to guide all stu-
dents toward fulfillment of academic, personal, and spiritual potential in a loving
and caring atmosphere. Seton Catholic Schools nurture students to be lifelong
learners and community leaders by combining rigorous college preparatory
course offerings with a rich program of extracurricular activities. Service to the
community, as well as the cultivation of individual gifts and talents, is an integral
part of learning at all grade levels.

A WORD FROM OUR SETON CATHOLIC SCHOOL PRINCIPALS
Dear Seton Catholic Family,
Pandemic or not, our students and staff have been working hard
and finishing this school year strongly! We have slowly been
returning to normal - and everyone is happy! While we still
maintain distance, wear masks, and disinfect often, we are
coming together more. We have enjoyed returning to Mass
again and celebrating our faith together. Living Rosaries and
Stations of the Cross during Lent returned and were appreciated. Branch Out Day happened again for SCHS
students and staff. We are very grateful that students are taking seriously the practice of disinfecting and washing
hands! We’ve noted much less illness this year overall.
We have continued celebrating Jack Wright, our Saint Meinrad seminarian. We love when he comes home for
breaks and comes in to visit and shares his experiences and hopes for being a priest.
Teachers have been students this semester too. Through our Professional Development Tuesday’s we have
been working on better organizing our curriculum and getting ready to review better ways to handle classroom
assessments. We will begin to study more effective grading practices next.
Building safety has been on the forefront this last semester. We are in the process of installing cameras, secure
door devices, and other technology to keep our students and staff safe as a result of a very generous parishioner
and a grant we were awarded last year. This project should be complete during the summer.
Re-enrollment and new enrollment are happening now! We are blessed to have Enrollment Coordinator, Stepha-
nie Kitchin leading that endeavor. Many new faces have toured our buildings in hopes of attending Seton Catho-
lic next year! We are eager to add more family members and watch our school grow.
We are happy to be able to offer elementary students summer tutoring at a greatly reduced rate thanks to Title I
funds that we received. Seton Summer Camp will be happening again during June and July this year. Bridging
the learning gap from the pandemic and having fun experiences at camp are exciting!
Wishing each of you a safe and fun summer,
Mr. John Markward Mrs. Kim Becker
SCHS Principal SCES Principal

ESSAY SUCCESS!
Serra Essay Contest
Each year the John D. Kelly Voca-
tions Essay Contest is sponsored
by the Serra Club of Indianapolis.
The contest is open to all Catholic
students in Grades 7 through 12
who live in or attend school within
the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
Catechists and religion teachers at
each parish or school may sponsor
the two essays they consider best
for each class within grades 7 – 12.
Over the years Seton Catholic
has had great success with this
contest, but never have we had
three winners!
In April the winners were honored
at a special luncheon that included
their parents, their sponsoring
teachers, and our principal,
Mr. John Markward. Each winner

Likewise, we had four winners from
the grades 9-12 category who wrote
about the Covid-19 pandemic and
how they believed our local and/or
national government responded to the
pandemic. Bella Diehl, Leah Miller,
Cole Russell, and Trey Pipenger
represented us on the winners list.
These students received a cash prize

RISING STARS
Rising Stars of Indiana is a non-
competitive recognition program,
designed to honor high school jun-
iors for their academic achieve-
ment. By allowing schools to iden-
tify outstanding scholars during
their Junior year, we hope to
increase their visibility and scholar-
ship opportunities. Each Indiana
high school can recognize up to
four individual students. The
program is operated by the Indiana
Association of School Principals.
This year Seton Catholic High
School nominated Lydia Reichley
and Tristian Washington.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable —
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.”
~ Philippians 4:8 NIV
