Principal Update

Dear Parents,

I hope that all our students had a restful and enjoyable spring break. The school year is winding down quickly and the months of April and May will be very busy. We are also in the deep planning phase for next school year and should have the 2025-2026 Academic Calendar finalized and published soon.

We are currently in the General Registration time frame for returning students which ends on May 15.  As stated in the enrollment contract, accounts with outstanding balances may not be eligible for registration of current or new students until either the delinquency is addressed, or an alternative payment plan is approved. Delinquent Accounts may be restricted to accessing the following: semester grades, final exams, athletics, activities, and school records (including transcripts). This is particularly important for current seniors, as all outstanding balances must be paid in full before they can take their final exams and have a final transcript showing completion of all credits for graduation. 

As we continue to celebrate the season of Lent, we ask our students and our community to reflect on additional ways to be kinder and more compassionate with others. Acts and words of kindness foster a greater sense of community and inspire us to be there for others especially during difficult times. 

As always, your continued support of St. Michael’s High School and all our students is greatly appreciated. Go Horsemen!

Yours in Christ,

Martin C. Sandoval, Principal

Choir...

SMHS Choir, under the guidance of Choral Arts Director, Devin DeVargas,  will be performing at the NMAA State Choir Competition on Friday at 3:20 at V. Sue Cleveland in Rio Rancho. The Category is highly competitive and the student performers have been making amazing progress this year. Thanks for all of the support for this program and these exceptional young artists.

Kairos...

The Girls Kairos XXXIV was a beautiful week of reflection and growth. We had about 52 junior and senior girls in the Glorieta Mountains experiencing God’s Presence and Love. We are so grateful for a community that supports these experiences for the students and are so excited for these girls to bring the Kairos experience back to school at  St. Michael’s.
