Dear Paramus Catholic Community,
As we prepare for the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead. This September marks our sixtieth year as a beacon of faith, scholarship, and service, rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the legacy of our founders. As we embark on this milestone year, I am writing to share our vision and expectations, accompanied by an invitation for all members of our community—students, faculty, alumni, parents, and friends—to deepen their engagement with Paramus Catholic.
To our students, you are the heart of Paramus Catholic. As Paladins, you are called to live with integrity, guided by faith, and dedicated to serving others. We expect you to strive for academic excellence, take full advantage of our curriculum, and leverage the latest technologies to prepare for college and beyond. Engage fully in our extracurricular programs, from athletics to liturgical activities, and take advantage of opportunities to grow spiritually and communally.
To our dedicated faculty and staff, you are the backbone of our mission. Your role is to inspire, challenge, and support our students as they reach their maximum potential. We expect you to infuse authentic Catholic teaching into our curriculum and daily operations, fostering an environment where faith and scholarship thrive. Your commitment to professional growth, collaboration, and the use of cutting-edge educational tools will ensure that every student receives the support they need to succeed. As we navigate this new year, let us continue to create a safe and nurturing space for our students to flourish.
To our alumni, parents, and friends, Paramus Catholic is more than a school. It is a community – a community that you help build set on a foundation of shared values and a commitment to transforming lives. We invite you to become more engaged in our mission. Alumni, your experiences and successes are a testament to the enduring impact of a Paramus Catholic education. Share your stories, mentor our students, participate in our events, and consider the role your philanthropy can play and the impact you can have on our students today and for years to come. Parents, your partnership is vital—volunteer for school events and continue to host fundraising efforts that take place throughout the year. Together, we can ensure that every deserving student has access to this transformative education.
As we prepare for the first day of classes, I encourage all members of our community to embrace the opportunities of this new school year. Students, wear your uniforms with pride and dive into the opportunities for growth and leadership. Faculty continue to inspire and innovate. Alumni, parents, and friends, join us in shaping the future of Paramus Catholic. Together, we will build on our storied past to create a vibrant, hopeful future, guided by faith and service.
Let us unite as Paladins to make this year a testament to our shared commitment to excellence.
In faith and service,
Chris Farrell
President
