Students of the Month

Hi! My name is Maggie and I am a senior here at SHG. Over the past four years, I have been involved in volleyball, Student Ambassadors, and I am the vice president of the National Honor Society.

My favorite part about SHG is the community. Over my time here, I have been able to form a great group of friends and close relationships with many of my teachers.

My advice for underclassmen is to enjoy your time at SHG and don’t rush it! Take advantage of every opportunity you get. And make sure you go on Kairos!

I am excited to finish out my last semester at SHG! I feel like I have been well-prepared for college by the classes I’ve taken and my teachers. I’m so grateful for all the experiences I have been given by SHG and all the faculty who have helped me over the past four years!

Hi, I’m Kaden. I am a junior at Sacred Heart Griffin. There are many activities that I do throughout SHG. I am a part of the school musical, I am vice president of movie club, and I am in both Christmas club and art club.

My favorite part of going to SHG is meeting new people and also becoming closer with people that I have been friends with for a long time.

If you are just getting started at SHG I would recommend joining a club or multiple clubs. I didn’t do any clubs besides Christmas Club freshman and sophomore year, and doing clubs this year has been a lot of fun and I wish I joined them earlier.

I’m most looking forward to my Kairos trip, next years musical, and just senior year in general.

Hi! My name is Kate, and I am a sophomore at SHG. I am a student ambassador, a member of the student council, and part of the spirit club. I also run cross country, track, and take piano lessons here at SHG.

One of my favorite things about SHG is all of the opportunities and chances it has given me to grow. There are so many ways to get involved, both through classes and extracurriculars. I have loved being able to compete in State races for track, performing at quarterly recitals, and taking a variety of classes that interest me! SHG has helped me try new things, meet new people, and participate in fun experiences.

To underclassmen, my advice is to take advantage of everything SHG has to offer. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Whether it's joining a club, trying a new sport, or taking a class that interests you, these experiences will help you grow and make your time here even better!

Hi! My name is Ocean, and I’m a freshman. I’m a part of the cross country team, track team, Key Club, Christmas Club, Art Club, and spring musical here at SHG. I am also involved in the McNeese Physician Preparatory Pathway Program (P4) at SIU.

My favorite part about SHG is the people and how faith is incorporated into our education. My teachers are kind and supportive of any activities I participate in. Staff and faculty always give me things to feel proud of. I’ve also made many good friends freshman year, and I’m glad I made them at SHG. I feel like since coming here, I’ve been able to strengthen and grow in my relationship with God.

I’m looking forward to making many more memories and connections here at SHG, meeting more people, and learning new things.
