Chemists at St. Mary's are celebrating mole day- a holiday in recognition of Avogadros number (6.02x10^23) with some Bunsen burner s'mores!

We did not get the W, but our boys played hard and our student section small but mighty. Congratulations to all of seniors!

Our St. Mary's Shooting Team has a "staff" day where our faculty and staff can go to a practice and shoot with them. They had a blast! #catholicschool #shootingteam #lyalland issacrock #jesus

Our Pirate Cross Country team has continually improved all season long, competing last week at the Tri-Peaks League meet at Monument Valley Park. Four senior girls anchored our team, with Clara Perez-Miller finishing 5k at 23:38. Elexeya Cordova posted a season-best 25:48, Tessa Biller finished at 27:17, and Clare Edwards recorded a strong 28:02. Juniors Vianeth Cejudo and Emma Cairns had strong outings, finishing at 26:37 and 28:26, respectively. Sophomore Isabella Steinbeck came in at 27:23. On the boys’ side, sophomore Ethan Kiptui finished fifth, posting a personal best in the 5k with a time of 16:11 - just two seconds shy of the SMHS boys’ record. Sophomores Jonathan Sabish and Vic Xu also ran season bests, at 19:00 and 20:37, respectively. Junior Terence Fouret rounded out the boys’ team with an additional personal record of 20:23. Junior Michael Krones will join the team for the regional meet this Friday in Colorado City, where the top four teams and top 15 individual finishers on both sides will move on to the CHSAA State Championships on November 1 at Norris Penrose Park here in Colorado Springs!

The score was not what we wanted it to be, but our athletes made us proud to be Pirates! Way to go football players and cheerleaders! #catholicschool #football #faith #cheers #jesus

Yesterday Mr. Hartzell's class had a "onion lab". This lab is designed to teach about cells as well as giving our new freshmen practice with their microscopes. They learned about the differences between plant and animal cells. They also prepared slides using and onion and then an elodea plant to represent plant cells. They then took a swab from their own cheeks and prepared a slide on animal cells. Our Freshmen are really awesome! #sciencelife #catholicschool #jesus #educationforlife #coloradosprings

Today the Biomed class was tasked with determining how fast a cadaver cools in different environmental conditions. The students used hotdogs that were heated to body temperature and then placed in 50°, 20°, and 0° environments to calculate the rate of heat loss. #biomed #SMHSPirates #jesus #sciences #catholiceducation #catholicschool

This week our Diocesan Priests are on retreat, so in lieu of Mass, our Campus Ministers prayed a Rosary with us. #rosary#Blessed#Love#Catholic#Faith
