Saint Jerome Catholic School

💙✨ Throwback to a Year of Service and Leadership ✨💙

As we reflect on the 2025–2026 school year, we're incredibly proud of the many ways our Panthers put their faith into action through service to others.

Throughout the year, St. Jerome students raised hundreds of dollars for important causes, including Breast Cancer Research and the American Heart Association. They also rolled up their sleeves and made a difference both on and off campus.

🌱 Caring for our school by working in the garden and maintaining campus grounds

🎨 Helping improve our campus by painting doors and beautifying shared spaces

🌿 Serving the environment at Tree Tops Park by removing invasive plants and creating healthier habitats for local wildlife

🥫 Collecting more than 300 pounds of food to support families through Feeding South Florida

🎄 Spreading Christmas cheer by collecting gifts and writing cards for residents at St. John's Nursing Home

🏠 Gathering household essentials to support young adults aging out of the foster care system through the Flite Center

And that's just the beginning! Our 8th grade class alone completed nearly 500 service hours this year, demonstrating an incredible commitment to helping others.

At St. Jerome, we are committed to developing the whole child: academically, spiritually, and socially, while inspiring our students to become the compassionate stewards, servant leaders, and changemakers of tomorrow.

✨ Throwback to an Incredible Year of Achievement! ✨

As we reflect on the 2025–2026 school year, we are so proud of our Panthers and all they accomplished through academic competition, teamwork, and dedication.

🏆 At the Chaminade-Madonna Lions Scholastic Competition, our outstanding 6th and 7th grade team brought home 1st Place in the Blue Small Schools Division! Their hard work and perseverance truly paid off.

A special congratulations to:

🎓💙 The day before their promotion ceremony, our 8th graders took part in a special final walk-through. Students throughout the school lined the halls with handmade posters, cheers, and encouragement as they celebrated the Class of 2026.

The day was filled with hugs, smiles, cherished memories, and even a few tears as we honored this important milestone. While our graduates are preparing for their next adventure in high school, they will always have a home at St. Jerome.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Once a part of the St. Jerome family, always a part of the St. Jerome family.

As we continue to celebrate our 8th graders this week, we want to highlight a special tradition. One of our favorite traditions is seeing our 8th graders proudly represent the high schools they will be attending this fall!

Dressed in their future school shirts and spirit wear, the Class of 2026 showcased the exciting next steps in their educational journey. We are proud to have students continuing their academic careers at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Cardinal Gibbons High School, Archbishop Edward McCarthy High School, and Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory.

As they prepare to leave St. Jerome Catholic School, we celebrate their accomplishments and the bright futures that lie ahead. We know they will continue to lead with faith, integrity, and excellence wherever they go.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Your St. Jerome family is cheering you on every step of the way.

As we begin celebrating our Class of 2026 this week, we are proud to reflect on a special evening dedicated to honoring their many accomplishments.

Our 8th Grade Mass and Awards Night was a beautiful celebration of the talents, dedication, and achievements of our graduating class. Students were recognized for their academic excellence, athletic accomplishments, artistic talents, leadership, and service to our school community.

Surrounded by family, friends, faculty, and fellow classmates, students had the opportunity to applaud one another's successes and celebrate the journey they have shared together. The evening was filled with pride, gratitude, and joy as we recognized the hard work and commitment that have defined their years at St. Jerome Catholic School.

Congratulations to our Class of 2026! We look forward to continuing to celebrate you throughout the week as you prepare for your next chapter.

At St. Jerome Catholic School, our 8th graders are prepared for success both inside and outside the classroom.

Year after year, the vast majority of our graduates are accepted into their first-choice high schools, a testament to their hard work, academic preparation, and the dedication of our faculty. Since 2024, five students earned scholarships to their high schools based on academic merit and outstanding performance on the HSPT entrance exam.

Beyond academics, our students develop a lifelong commitment to faith, leadership, and service. Together, our 8th-grade class has completed nearly 500 service hours, making a meaningful impact in our community while living out the values of the Gospel.

Our students are also encouraged to discover their passions through a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, including volleyball, flag football, soccer, basketball, cheerleading, track and field, chess club, band, choir, youth group, student council, National Junior Honor Society, book club, and more.

The St. Jerome graduate is a confident learner, compassionate leader, faithful servant, and engaged community member—ready to excel in high school and beyond.
