Principal's Message

Week of October 7, 2024

Dear Paramus Catholic Families,

October is a month rich in significance for our community. It marks the observance of Respect for Life Month, a time of reflection on the inherent value of every human life. As the Archdiocese of Newark emphasizes, this is an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to promoting a culture that respects life from conception to natural death. Let us unite in prayer and action, honoring God’s greatest gift—life.

Pope Francis’s message, highlighted by Cardinal Tobin, is that Monday, October 7, 2024, is a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace. The Holy Father noted that “in this dramatic hour of our history, while the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to devastate entire peoples and nations: we as Christians, are reminded to put ourselves at the service of humanity”. The Paramus Catholic school community will be reminded of this important direction.

In addition, October is Cancer Awareness Month. This is a time to show support for those affected by cancer and to raise awareness of the importance of early detection and ongoing research efforts that bring hope and healing.

As we are now halfway through the first academic quarter, I encourage you to stay in touch with your children’s teachers and guidance counselor if they are experiencing any challenges. Communication is key to ensuring each student has the support they need to succeed.

Please take note of the following important dates:

The Parent Council meeting has been rescheduled for Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at 7:00 PM.
On Thursday, October 10, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, we will be hosting a College Fair in the gymnasium. This is a wonderful opportunity for all PC students to gather valuable information about higher education.

We will be having our first Open House of the year on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Registration is located on the home page of our website. Please share this news as we love to showcase Paramus Catholic.
Wishing you all a safe and blessed week ahead.

In your gratitude,

Dr. Stephanie Macaluso

It’s a great day to be a Paladin!

It is an honor and privilege for me to serve as President of Paramus Catholic High School. Since I started on July 1, I have been warmly welcomed into the Paladin community by the faculty, staff, students, parents, and alumni. It has been a wonderful opportunity to learn more about PC’s rich history and to witness first-hand the impact a Paramus Catholic education continues to have.
