2025 Annual Report
Principal's Message | June 2025
Dear VC families,
As we come to the end of the 2024-2025 academic year, it is overwhelming to reflect on the abundance of God’s goodness and blessings that have been bestowed upon our school community. We started this year welcoming a new Pastor who has shared the pure joy that he feels being a part of our school family and the year ended with our 7th state championship in athletics (4 teams - football, tennis, golf, baseball and 3 individuals - powerlifting, tennis, track). The Fall brought many opportunities for new academic enhancements, with every one of our seniors improving on their standardized test scores, and the Spring marked 140 years of Catholic education in Abbeville. With each day focused on keeping our Catholic identity and our core values at the forefront, there were countless achievements this year that led us to recognize the lasting impact of our work to preserve the traditions started by the Sisters of Mount Carmel and the clergy of St. Mary Magdalen so many years ago!
If you haven’t already, we encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram, or visit our school website, to stay connected. Our school is thriving as we remain focused on our motto, Enter to Learn Christ, Leave to Serve Christ, and continue to inspire generations of Eagles.
All of our achievements would not be possible without your continued support in making VC what it is today. Your contributions of time, talent, and treasure, as well as the involvement of so many generations of families, are invaluable to our mission. Please take some time to review this annual report of all areas of school life and find time to come for a visit on campus. You are always welcome. Remember, Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle!

Proud Principal of Vermilion Catholic, a legacy of Mount Carmel
