A Letter from the Principal: Final Exams
Dear Salpointe Parents & Guardians,
The end of the 2025–2026 school year is quickly approaching, and I want to sincerely thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout the year. It is truly a privilege to walk alongside your children during these important and formative years at Salpointe Catholic High School.
The next two weeks represent one of the most important stretches of the academic year. Next week, teachers will dedicate class time to comprehensive review and preparation, followed by final exam week.
As our students would say, it is time to “LOCK IN.”
The reality is that college admissions are becoming increasingly competitive, and GPA matters now more than ever. Final exams carry significant weight in the gradebook, and the effort students put forth over the next two weeks can have a meaningful impact on their academic future and opportunities ahead.
We ask for your partnership in reinforcing the importance of:
-
Attending school every day
-
Arriving on time
-
Being mentally prepared and focused
-
Studying each evening consistently
-
Prioritizing sleep, nutrition, and healthy routines
Please read the rest of the letter, which includes the final exam schedule, here.
