Principal's Message

Week of October 21, 2024

Dear Paramus Catholic Families,
We have now completed class meetings across all grade levels. Each provided students with important expectations as well as fostered a sense of community and encouraged students to make the most of their experience this school year. In addition to administrative presentations, students were empowered by motivational videos of Kara Lawson’s, “Do Hard Better” and Eddie Pinera’s “Believe in Yourself”. These meetings have set the tone for a successful school year and have given students the tools they need to stay focused, engaged, and motivated. We encourage you to speak with your child about what they took away from their class meeting, and we appreciate your continued partnership in supporting their journey.
Critical aspects of the meeting were helping the students to understand the boundaries of social media, the responsibilities associated with having a license, and time management.
While social media can connect friends and provide entertainment, it can also negatively impact self-esteem, anxiety, and overall mental health, especially among teenagers. The pressure to portray a "perfect" image and the constant comparison to others can be overwhelming. I encourage you to have open conversations with your child about how they feel when using these platforms and to remind them that what they see online often does not reflect reality.
This week Paladins will be celebrating “Spirit Week” with various school activities and themed dress-down days for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The week will end with a Homecoming Dance to which all PC students are invited.
The Parent Council will be hosting a Raffle. Please look for the tickets on Monday, October 21, 2024, as they will be distributed to all students in homeroom to bring home.
I wish everyone a safe and good week.

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.
