Saint Clare School

Friday was not only the last school Mass of the 2025/2026 year, but also Monsignor Fran's last Mass with our students.

We're incredibly grateful for the time, thought, and heart that Monsignor Fran has put into our school Masses to make them engaging and educational for our students.

While we will miss Monsignor dearly, we're also happy that he won't be moving too far (The Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph)!

For next year, we can't wait to welcome Father Mendie Nguyen to the Saint Clare community as our new pastor!

Although there's still plenty of summer ahead, it's always good to be prepared for next school year!

On Thursday, we celebrated our students' move to the next grade at our Bridging Ceremony.

Besides moving to the lines they'll be in for next year's morning assemblies, students also spent some time in their future classrooms with their future teachers!

Our final graduation ceremony of the year celebrated our kindergartners!

With caps, gowns, and certificates in hand, these students showed us that they're more than ready for an amazing year in 1st grade.

Congratulations, Saint Clare Kindergarten Class of 2026!

As the graduation festivities continue, we recently celebrated our 5th graders!

These students have graduated out of our elementary building and, come fall, will be moving across the street to our middle school campus.

We're incredibly proud of the year they've had and can't wait for the excitement they'll bring to their 6th grade classes!

Congratulations to the Saint Clare School Class of 2026!

Our 8th graders wrapped up their final day on campus with a beautiful Baccalaureate Mass and graduation ceremony.

Students received their diplomas, awards, and plenty of love from their Saint Clare family.

We couldn't be prouder of everything these students have accomplished so far, and can't wait to see the great things they continue to do in the future (which hopefully includes visiting us)!

To wrap up their academic year, our 8th graders recently presented their Capstone Projects to a panel of current and former teachers, staff, and parents.

These students, either individually or in a group, combined research and creativity to come up with an organization made to tackle a prevalent social issue.

Their amazing ideas covered topics like animal care, emergency services, recycling, mental health, and more.

Each presentation thoroughly impressed our panelists, and showed just how ready these students are for high school!

We often have Santa Clara University students helping our students in the classroom, but this time-they met us on the court!

Last week, SCU’s women’s basketball team hosted a clinic for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes.

In a competition where each class had their dribbling and shooting skills put to the test, everyone did an amazing job!

Thank you for all the fun!

Last Friday, we welcomed our newly elected 2026/2027 Student Council members to their positions at the annual Installation Mass.

We're so excited to see what they have in store for us next year!

Soon after, Monsignor Fran let us know that the following Tuesday (today) would be the 47th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.

He even wore the same stole that he wore on his ordination day!

Congratulations Monsignor and our new Student Council members!
