✨ Senior Retreat 2025 – Class of 2026 ✨

What an absolutely phenomenal weekend at our three-day Christian Awakening Retreat! Our Class of 2026 spent the weekend bonding, sharing experiences, and growing closer to God and to each other. 💙💛

The peaceful setting at Gasper River was the perfect place to reflect and reconnect — complete with stunning sunsets and sunrises, a beautiful river backdrop, and amazing outdoor space where students could hike, run, and enjoy time together in nature.

Throughout the retreat, our students participated in Mass, Reconciliation, small group discussions, 5am runs, and listened to several incredible speakers who offered meaningful lessons and inspiration for life beyond the classroom.

A huge thank you to Mr. Hayden for his exceptional planning and leadership of this retreat — with details mapped down to the very minute. We are also deeply grateful for our outstanding Theology Department: Mrs. Melega, Mr. Melega, and Mr. Simpson for their support and guidance throughout the weekend.

And a special thank you to the staff members who spent the entire 3 days with our students: Mrs. Stevens, Ms. Childers, Mr. Hughes, Dr. Corbett, Mrs. McGill, Mrs. Downs, Coach Bodine, and Mrs. Thurmond. Your care, leadership, and presence make all the difference.

We are truly blessed with an incredible staff and an amazing group of students who continually inspire us.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate four outstanding students who have earned their place in Bethlehem’s ACT 30 and Above Club! Congratulations to Henry Evans, Cameron Lanham, Ramona Manion, and Annya McClure on this remarkable achievement. We are inspired by their hard work and thrilled to recognize their success. Way to go—you make Bethlehem proud!
