June 5, 2025
Dear Salpointe Families,
We hope this message finds you well and that your summer is filled with joy, rest, and meaningful time with loved ones.
Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to Salpointe Catholic High School. As we prepare to begin the 2025–2026 school year, we look ahead with great excitement and optimism. We are confident it will be a year marked by growth, achievement, and inspiration, in the classroom, on the field, in the studio, and in our community. Our Lancers will continue to live out our Catholic, Carmelite mission and pursue excellence in all areas: spiritual, academic, artistic, and athletic. We are incredibly proud of each of our students and all they bring to our Lancer family.
As we begin this new chapter, we are reminded of the words of St. Teresa of Avila, a beloved Carmelite saint whose deep faith and message of love continue to guide us. Each of us is called to act as a conduit for God’s love, compassion and presence in the world by serving others.
Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body. Amen.
Wishing you a blessed summer filled with grace, joy, and gratitude.
Warm regards,
Kay Sullivan President

This information is also available on the Resource Board on myPointe. The window for requesting a schedule change is June 20 to June 26. Schedule changes cost $50.00 per change.
TEXTBOOKS
Please review your class schedule on June 20 after 1:00 p.m. to determine which textbooks you will need. Consult the 2025-2026 textbook list, which is also posted on the Academic page of the Salpointe website. Please do not purchase textbooks until you receive your schedule. Most courses require eTextbooks that will be billed directly to your tuition account. You may purchase traditional textbooks from various online vendors such as Amazon and Abebooks, through the links provided in the Notes section on the textbook list or at our annual Salpointe Swap on June 21.
SALPOINTE SWAP – Flyer
Salpointe Catholic will host the annual Uniform and Book Swap on Saturday, June 21 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. in Foundation Hall. If you have Theology books to sell or want to buy books, please join us that morning for this cash-only sale. Uniform shirts can also be bought and sold during the swap. The swap is hosted at school for the convenience of our families. The school is unable to act as an agent or intermediary in any person-to-person exchanges.
Buyer Beware: Be sure to purchase books using the ISBN numbers provided on the textbook list to ensure you get the correct editions. As mentioned earlier, most of our textbooks are now digital, so please refer to the textbook list carefully before making any purchases.
SUMMER ASSIGNMENTS
Some courses have summer assignments. Review the Summer Assignments by clicking here to see if your courses require summer work.
SAT and PSAT
Both the PSAT and SAT will be administered to students on Friday, October 17, 2025.
The PSAT, offered to students in grades 9–11, is an important exam that not only qualifies eligible juniors for National Merit recognition and scholarship opportunities but also provides valuable data that helps our faculty tailor instruction to student needs.
The SAT is now offered to seniors at Salpointe. This exam demonstrates college readiness, is required by many colleges and universities, and often eliminates the need for placement tests once students are admitted. It also plays a key role in college admissions and scholarship decisions.
The cost for seniors to take the SAT is $60. Registration information will be shared within the first two weeks of school.
