Several STA students were recognized after a recent Mass for their commitment to service to our community. These students went above and beyond the required number of service hours per student.  

STA Principal Jose Becerra congratulates senior Butch Bartels on his recent status as Commended Student of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. 

STA Principal José Becerra recognizes senior Shannon Garrety for her composite score of 30 on the ACT College Placement Test.  The Veritas ACT 30+ Award at STA is given to all students who receive a composite score of 30 or above on the ACT.  Shannon is the daughter of Bryon and Betsy Garrety. 

Senior Johann Castro is interested in a career in the communications / mass media fields, so when he was given the opportunity to experience the industry from the inside this summer, he used it to explore his chosen career path.

While most students are enjoying their summer vacation, the season is well under way for STA's Cheer and Dance teams. Since tryouts in March, the teams have been preparing for their first big events:  Summer Camp with the Universal Cheerleading Association and the Universal Dance Association.
