Rockets earn superior and excellent OMEA ratings

Rockets earn superior and excellent OMEA ratings

Congratulations to the Rocket band members who earned superior and excellent ratings in the Ohio Music Education Solo & Ensemble Competition as well as those who represented McNicholas in the Catholic Honor Band during Catholic Schools Week.

Band Director Keith Nance said, “All of the students worked really hard for this competition either on a solo or as part of an ensemble. It's a great experience for them because they have the chance to perform for an OMEA music judge and then receive feedback for their performance and a state rating."

The band continues their hard work as they prepare to perform during all-school Mass on Thursday in celebration of Catholic Schools Week.

Colin Koran - Baritone

Charlie Everhart - Trumpet

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