Montini Catholic's hallways were alive once again on Aug. 17 as Principal Kevin Beirne and faculty happily welcomed students back to school for Montini's 56th year of education.

"While the start of the school year is still impacted by the lingering (COVID) virus, it's clear that things this year are much closer to 'normal' than they were last year - and for that we can all be grateful," said Principal Beirne.

"We are looking forward to a very successful, positive and safe 2021-22 school year," added President Jim Segredo. "I am very excited about this upcoming school year and looking forward celebrating the new school year with our returning student body as well as the newest members of our large incoming freshman class, the Class of 2025. The first day of school here at Montini is always a great day to be a Bronco!"
