    Students of the Month recognized at middle school

    At St. Peter Middle School, we are very blessed to have many students who go above and beyond our expectations on a daily basis. Again this year, we will honor students that stand out among their peers in a positive manner. Every month, each grade level will select a student who is exemplary in some way. The student might have an exceptional attitude, reverence at Mass, effort in classes, or be an outstanding role model and leader for their peers, always promoting Christ’s love and kindness.
