Students will be dismissed at 1 p.m. The library will stay open until 3 p.m. View the entire Friday school schedule here. 

The celebration will continue as the Rockets take on the Carroll Patriots during the Homecoming football game at Penn Station Stadium. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Students are able to enter the game for free with their student IDs.

All McNicholas students are invited to the Homecoming dance on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 8-11 p.m. on campus in the Bogenschutz Gym. Dance tickets are $20 each and are available for purchase online here. Tickets will not be sold at the door.

    Where Art Comes Alive: McNicholas Students Explore Italy, France, and Belgium

    Some of life's greatest lessons cannot be found in a textbook. They are discovered standing beneath the ancient arches of the Colosseum, gazing up at masterpieces in Vatican City, or watching the sun set along the Seine River. This spring, 43 McNicholas students experienced those moments firsthand, returning home with a deeper appreciation for art, history, culture, and the world around them.

    A Friendship Without Borders: McNicholas Celebrates Its First Sister School Exchange with Argentina

    Nine McNicholas students traveled to Buenos Aires this summer for the school's first Sister School Exchange with Instituto Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, building on friendships formed when Argentine students visited McNicholas earlier this year. Through living with host families, attending classes, and experiencing Argentina's rich culture and history, students discovered that the most meaningful lessons come from stepping beyond their comfort zones and embracing connections that transcend borders.
