What can I say? The end of a school year brings a myriad of emotions. It is truly a bittersweet time for me. My favorite part of the school day is greeting your children when they arrive each day, and that piece I will miss greatly. After all these years, it is the interaction among and between students and adults that makes school such a special place.
Relationships are what learning is all about. We learn best from the people we love. I have enjoyed this year very much, and as two of my favorite students told me when I asked them, "So, how was this year?" They responded, "It was great!" I feel the same way.
Have a wonderful and safe summer. May God's blessings continue to be abundant in your lives.
Sincerely,
Harry Selner, Principal

March is here, which means spring is right around the corner and this year is nearly 3/4 over! I’m sure most of you are aware of the prestigious award Seton has received. We have been named a “Catholic School for Tomorrow” by Today’s Catholic Educator and are one of only twelve Catholic schools in the entire nation to receive this award! The award has been given because of innovations in curriculum and instruction. Mrs. Pat Fritz and I will be representing Seton at the National Catholic Education Association’s award ceremony in Indianapolis on March 26th. This is a very proud moment for Seton School. I am continually amazed at the wonderful things happening here. On March 14th, we will have “Living Stations” in the Chapel at 10:00 AM. Please feel free to join us for this wonderful event. May God’s blessings continue to be abundant in your lives.
Sincerely,
Harry Selner, Principal

My first semester of school at Seton Catholic is over and I head into my second looking both forward and back and wondering about and evaluating programs and decisions on how to best serve the students at Seton. My most cherished memories of the first semester, however, revolve around our wonderful Liturgies and prayer services. The Mass for the “Anointing of the Sick”, the “Catholic Schools’ Week Mass”, and the “Silvestro Wedding Mass” are absolute highlights for me thus far. The reverence with which your children come together at Mass continually lifts my spirit each week. It is where I truly feel “The Spirit of Seton” and I look forward to our Liturgies as the pinnacle of my week here. If you have not joined us for a Mass, please take a look at our calendar and feel free to visit for this wonderful time.
People often ask me, “What makes Seton so special for you?” I always respond, “Come visit us on Friday. You’ll see. It is there, at our Friday Mass, that you will know that the students of Seton, as the song goes, are Christians by their love, by their love.” May God’s blessings continue to be abundant in your lives.
Sincerely,
Harry Selner, Principal
