From the Desk of the President


I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas Season with family and friends. 

As I reflect on my first six months as President of Paramus Catholic, I am grateful to the alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and students who have graciously welcomed me into the PC Community. It seems like just yesterday that I began, yet here we are already halfway through the school year.

Our fall semester was certainly a busy one for sure.  We welcomed back 825 students to campus, and we hit the ground running.  Our athletic teams competed well with many qualifying for the playoffs and state championship rounds.  Several seniors who applied early decision heard from their first-choice schools.  And our Open House this past October was one of the best attended in recent history.

A Letter from the Principal


Happy New Year!

I hope this letter finds you well and in high spirits. As we begin this new year filled with hope and possibilities, I wanted to take a moment to connect with you and share with you what is happening at PC. 


 
As we approach Catholic Schools Week, we look forward to celebrating Paramus Catholic and how its four foundational pillars of Faith, Academics, Security, and Wellness enhance our students’ high school journey.  Catholic Schools Week is an opportunity to reflect and share our values with the greater community.

A Christmas Celebration to Remember


The spirit of the season filled the Paramus Catholic auditorium on the evening of Wednesday, December 11, 2024, during our annual Christmas Concert. Under the guidance of Stefanos Hunter (Music), Camille Lewandowski (Dance), and Michael Shea (Dean of Campus Ministry) students delivered a heartwarming performance celebrating the birth of the Messiah.

The evening featured 25 talented Concert Band musicians, 17 vibrant Glee Club members, and 7 graceful dancers, culminating in a live Nativity Pageant that brought the story of Christmas to life. The Paramus Catholic community extends its deepest gratitude to our administrative team, faculty, and staff for their unwavering support. A special thanks to our Campus Ministry student leaders, band, glee club, and dancers for their dedication and hard work in spreading the message of love and joy this holiday season.
