The Crusader Class of 2022 is remarkable. Over the past few years, they have faced so much adversity, but they have kept the Crusader Spirit going. We learn much more from adversity than from the "good times" we always expect. They are sure to become great leaders because they are not afraid and do not give up just because times get tough. Their class brought back sports and clubs to the school in 2021-2022. As faith-filled Crusaders, they were always willing to serve their school and community.
