Training Noble Servant Leaders for the Modern World
Delone Catholic High School prepares young men and women to lead and to serve as "Doers of the Word" in any vocation to which God calls them.
Squirehood
Squirehood is an intense period of formation after which one graduates to Knighthood, prepared to go into the world ready to engage in the defense of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness against those who challenge it with Falsehood and Evil. Our Squires will spend their time at Delone Catholic High School preparing to be holy and noble servant leaders.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Ephesians 6: 13)
Squires will learn how to prepare for eternal life.
Squires will learn what God has revealed to us about creation...
Squires will learn how to live morally upright lives...
Squires will learn how to respond to God’s grace...
Squires will deepen their relationship with God...
Squires will contemplate the Word of God in Scripture...

Mrs. Mummert comes to us with years of both cheer and volleyball coaching experience in the Littlestown Area School District. She loves choreography and building stunts to wow the crowd, but most importantly cherishes the opportunity to mentor young athletes as they grow in confidence.
