Athletic and Activity Fields and Front Entrance Construction

Dear Scecina Community,

Thanks to the success of Scecina’s recent capital campaign – Our Faith, Our Journey, Our Time –the school’s main entrance will be redesigned and rebuilt to better welcome students, families, and guests. The new entry will include accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), student gathering areas, modern safety and security features, visitor-friendly parking, landscaping, and signage. New on-campus athletic and activity fields will be built to support Scecina student-athletes, student activities, and community partners.

I am pleased to share that the projected start date of demolition is between April 3 – 30, 2023. We are very excited to share the many benefits of this project with you and we will continue to update the community regarding adjustments to campus operations and events this spring, summer, and fall. If at any time you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us by using the form below.

Thank you so very much for your belief in the importance of Catholic education at Scecina, where we live in the inspiring footsteps of those who came before us, including Father Thomas Scecina. Please stay tuned as we embark on our capital campaign’s largest construction project!

May God bless you,

Joe Therber
President
