Paramus Catholic High School Home

Principal's Message

Week of December 16, 2024
Dear Paramus Catholic Families,
During this third week of the four weeks of Advent, we celebrate the theme of “Joy”. We are invited to reflect on what gives us happiness. Joy does not happen; it is an inner feeling that comes to us when we are at peace. Let us all take time to reflect upon the blessings that bring us joy.
During the last week of Advent, we will celebrate and focus on the beauty of “love”, one of the most powerful forces in the world. It can be uplifting, life-changing, and sometimes devastating. Love is the feeling that we have for others as well as ourselves. This feeling is one to be grateful for.
Paramus Catholic has been studying the lives of saints during this school year. In your Christmas card, each student and their family will be gifted with a beautiful prayer card. Both the Christmas card and Prayer card were designed by two of our talented Art students.
On Friday, December 20, 2024, at 11:30 am, Christmas vacation begins. The school closes promptly at this time. Please ensure that your child is picked up at this time.
Student-athletes are not permitted to remain on campus unsupervised between dismissal and practice and/or game time. This is a safety issue of which I remain firm. Lingering is not allowed on campus.
Please note that school resumes on January 6, 2025.
On behalf of the entire Paramus Catholic school community, we wish you and your family a blessed and joyful Christmas. May your New Year be a healthy and happy one.
The next Principal’s message will be posted on January 5, 2025.
Merry Christmas to all!
Dr. Stephanie Macaluso
Principal
A Prayer for Joy

Our Heavenly Father, help us to think the kind of thoughts that give us joy and that transmit joy. Help us to get in our hearts the love of Christ, that we may love people so that they find joy. —Norman Vincent Peale

Prayer for Love

Lord, help me feel Your love, that above all things I may know I am loved by You. —Pablo Diaz
