We are also incredibly grateful for our alumni, who continue to make a positive impact in their communities and professions. It is always a joy when former students stop by to visit, share their accomplishments, and reconnect with the school that helped shape their journey. Seeing them return reminds us of the lasting impact of a Catholic education and inspires our current students to dream big while keeping Christ at the center of their lives.

Please keep our JLCCS family—past, present, and future—in your prayers. We are truly blessed by the generations of students who continue to make us proud.

At James L. Collins Catholic School, learning goes beyond the classroom! Our students love exploring, creating, and solving real-world challenges in our STEM SmartLab. From coding and robotics to engineering and digital design, SmartLab inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and equips students with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they'll use for years to come.

It's hands-on learning at its best—and one of our students' favorite places to discover, innovate, and grow!

Our 5th and 8th grade students attend Camp of the Pines annually. They returned with wonderful memories, stronger friendships, and experiences that extended far beyond the classroom.

Throughout their time at camp, students participated in hands-on learning, outdoor adventures, and team-building activities that encouraged confidence, leadership, communication, and problem-solving. They embraced new challenges, worked together, and gained a deeper appreciation for God's amazing creation. These experiences help build resilience, independence, and lifelong skills while creating memories they will cherish for years to come.

We are grateful for the opportunity our students have to learn, grow, and experience God's beauty in such a meaningful way. Thank you to our teachers, chaperones, and everyone who helped make this special trip possible!

Our kindergarten students learned about the life cycle of plants while discovering the beauty of God's creation! As part of their lesson, they planted bean seeds and were excited to watch them grow from tiny seeds into thriving plants.

Hands-on learning helps our students see firsthand the wonder of how God created all living things with purpose and care. We could not wait to see their beans grow and watch as they continued to learn about the amazing world God has given us!

Sunday is more than the end of the week — it's a time to pause, worship, and draw closer to God. There’s peace, strength, and renewal found in gathering together in His presence. Make today a day to lift your heart, encourage your spirit, and spend time with your church family.

"I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord!'" — Psalm 122:1

Start your Sunday with faith and gratitude.

Our students read an incredible 26,228,000+ words through the Accelerated Reader program last school year! What an amazing accomplishment and a true reflection of their hard work, dedication, and love of learning.

The Accelerated Reader (AR) program encourages students to grow as readers by allowing them to choose books at their reading level, take comprehension quizzes, and track their progress throughout the year. AR helps build reading confidence, strengthen comprehension skills, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

Every page turned, every chapter completed, and every quiz passed added up to this incredible milestone. We are so proud of our students and grateful for the support of our teachers and families who help inspire a passion for reading every day.

Using creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, and engineering skills in our STEM Lab, these students have taken on an exciting challenge: building a Ferris wheel! Through hands-on learning, they are applying real-world STEM concepts while discovering that innovation happens when you aren’t afraid to dream big. One of their goals is to find the perfect spot on campus for their Ferris wheel by the end of their 8th grade year. We can’t wait to watch this project grow and see where their imagination and determination take them! We are so grateful to have a STEM Lab on campus, giving our students opportunities to explore, create, experiment, and develop the critical thinking skills that will serve them well into the future. Way to go, girls! We are excited to follow your journey!

One of the greatest blessings of a James L. Collins Catholic School education is the lifelong friendships that are formed along the way. From Pre-K through 8th grade, our students learn, pray, serve, and grow together, creating bonds rooted in faith, kindness, and shared experiences.

These friendships extend far beyond the classroom walls, becoming a source of encouragement and support throughout life's journey. We are grateful for a school community where students not only gain knowledge but also build meaningful relationships that last a lifetime.

"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." — Proverbs 27:17

May God continue to bless the friendships formed at JLCCS and guide our students as they grow together in faith, wisdom, and love.

As our graduates prepare to begin the next chapter of their educational journey, we ask God to bless each of them as they enter high school this fall. May He guide their steps, strengthen their faith, and fill them with courage, wisdom, and confidence as they pursue their dreams and continue growing as disciples of Christ.

We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished during their years at James L. Collins Catholic School, and are excited to see the impact they will make in their high schools, communities, and beyond.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to their families for trusting us with your children's education, faith formation, and personal growth. It has been a blessing to partner with you in helping shape these young men and women into lifelong learners, servant leaders, and faithful followers of Christ.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported our Garden Club's End-of-Year Plant Sale. Your generosity and encouragement helped make the event a wonderful success!

Thanks to the proceeds from the sale, we will be purchasing new raised garden beds to enhance our outdoor learning spaces and provide even more opportunities for students to explore gardening, science, and stewardship of God's creation.

We are also excited to share that James L. Collins Catholic School will be purchasing a greenhouse through the Burns & McDonnell STEM Grant for the school. This greenhouse would provide hands-on learning experiences for our students while supporting STEM education and environmental stewardship on our campus.

If you are a community member with experience, resources, or an interest in helping with our greenhouse or raised bed projects, we would love to hear from you! Please contact our Principal, Mrs. Whiteside, at the school to learn how you can get involved.

Thank you for helping us grow opportunities for our students—one plant at a time!
