St. Michael is pleased to recognize the students who were awarded the Charism Awards for the 2022-2023 school year. These are the highest awards given at SMA to those who follow our mission to Know Truth, Love God, and Serve Others.
Sr. Stephen Patrick has been selected as one of four recipients of an Innovation in Learning Environments grant from the Kansas City Chapter of the Association for Learning Environments. Although the grant request was $2,000 for a weather station (to be erected at SMA) and time lapse camera, thanks to a surplus of chapter funds, she was surprised at the awards ceremony with a $4,000 check to spend on classroom projects.
Congratulations to Guardian Soccer! They are the District Champions!!
It was a hard fought game against Sion last night but they pulled through with a 2-1 win!

O sweet and lovely Mary, Holy Mother of God, Queen of all Mothers, Pray for us.
Happy Mother's Day to all those loving and supportive mothers in our St. Michael the Archangel community!
This week we celebrated the beautiful tradition of crowning our heavenly Mother Mary at St. Michael.
St. Michael the Archangel is honored to carry on the once loved tradition celebrated at St. Mary's High School.
Congratulations to Mr. Kenny Wachter, this year's Lasallian Educator of the Year!
Mr. Wachter is one who exemplifies the virtues of the patron saint of teachers, St. John Baptist de La Salle. These virtues include a teacher who deepens the faith life of students and faculty and models the Christian values of showing respect and concern of individuals. This teacher demonstrates school values and someone who serves the school community by going above and beyond to be helpful to other faculty members. The Lasallian Educator of the Year is truly professional in all interactions and behaviors.
St. Michael is so blessed to have Mr. Wachter!
Last Encounter of the school year was amazing! Join us in the next school year for an evening of praise and worship music, Eucharistic Adoration, student witnesses, and Confession. All are welcome to pray with and for our school community!
