Principal JoAnn Wood and first grader Josie Salazar used bows to get their “crazy” look. Third grade students Mallory Beltran and Lauren Handley had awesome toe coverage.

St. Gerard Royals giving back to the community
St. Gerard Catholic High School, home of the Royals, is proud to share some of the many accomplishments achieved over the first few months of school. Not only is the campus still blooming during the beautification process, but we are thrilled with the installation of brand new scoreboards on campus. The Mighty Royal Football team has a beautiful, new scoreboard shining across the field. It can be seen from miles away and its glow brings warmth to our hearts and hope to the fans. Our indoor sports are just as excited with the installation of a new scoreboard in Royal Gym. With the new paint, new chairs, new banners, and brilliant boards in our gymnasium, we are ready to raise the roof and make it happen!
