Thank you to all who attended our October 6th Open House!

Faculty and staff members at Montini Catholic High School were honored to meet prospective Bronco families when hosting the Lasallian college preparatory high school's first Open House of the fall season on Sunday, October 6th.


Families seeking information on what a Lasallian education at Montini entails took advantage of what turned out to be a gorgeous fall day to enjoy an informative school/classroom tour followed by the opportunity to meet teachers, club moderators and coaches. Student ambassadors represented Montini's numerous clubs and athletic teams and were also available to answer questions and to give a first-hand Bronco student perspective. Refreshments were provided by Montini's Parent Club.


(Montini will be holding its second and final Open House on Thursday, November 7th. Tours will be available from 5-7PM. Registration is required at:  www.montini.org/openhouse.)

This month, Montini Catholic's Band is celebrating a National Champion (Class A) title in the National Catholic Band Association's national band competition. "We are incredibly proud," said the Lasallian college preparatory high school's Music Director Donnie Glowinski. "This is the first time in school history that Montini Catholic has earned this title." Each year, Catholic high schools from across the country are invited to submit performance recordings to be adjudicated by a panel of expert judges. "This prestigious honor is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of our student musicians. Their commitment to excellence has brought great pride to our school community," added Glowinski. "Every year, we work on becoming better musicians, and every year, the band rises to the challenge. I am so unbelievably proud of the work this group has done this year and everything they have accomplished. I am really looking forward to the future to see what these students will be able to do!" In the summer of 1953 a small group of concerned band directors, led by Director of Bands Robert F. O’Brien, met on the campus of the University of Notre Dame to discuss the Catholic School Band, its particular problems, and what might be done to further its development. Fr. Theodore Hesburgh Notre Dame President, gave the welcome speech. Mr. O’Brien then proposed goals for the organization and the NCBA was born. Today, NCBA's office is located at Villanova University Office of Music Activities. The NCBA recognizes the value of music within the Catholic school community. Their mission is to establish high musical, educational and ethical standards in Catholic schools' band programs.
