Montini to Host 7th Grade Step Up Day

Montini Catholic students and faculty are anxious to welcome local 7th graders who want to "Be a Bronco for a Day" on the Lasallian college preparatory high school's annual 7th Grade Step-Up Day on ​Friday, February 20, 2026.  
 
​Grade school visitors will experience a half-day (8-11:30AM​)​ of life as a Bronco​ - attending classes, meeting new people, exploring the school, and getting a feel for a typical day​ of high school at Montini Catholic. ​ The young students are paired with a Bronco ​student host who shares similar interests, helping them feel welcomed and comfortable right away. This personal​connection allows visiting grade schoolers to ask questions, see what a typical day looks like, and imagine themselves as future Broncos​ - making the experience more meaningful, engaging​ and memorable.
 
“Every year we look forward to meeting our younger prospective students on this day,” said Sara McGady, Admissions Coordinator. “Our grade school visitors get to experience, first-hand, what it’s like to be a Montini Catholic student​ by forming connections with our student ambassadors. It’s a fun and welcoming way for them to build confidence, explore their interests​ and begin to see themselves as future Broncos.”

Parents of students interested in shadowing at Montini ​on February 20th or any day may contact Sara McGady at Montini Catholic High School at 630-627-6930 or​ visit:  ​www.montini.org/admissions/open-houses-and-events​ .
