EAVES IN 12TH after ROUND 1 TAPPS 5A Girls State Championship
Erin Eaves of Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School is the only girl or boy for the Bulldogs to advance to state. Yesterday was the first round of the TAPPS 5A Girls State Championship. Eaves shot 86 the first round with a 9 on the last hole to finish 12th after an impressive first round.
The championship is unfolding at Squaw Valley Golf Club in Glen Rose, Texas, near Fort Worth, where competitors face the added challenge of navigating a course saturated from earlier rainfall. Despite these obstacles, Eaves played well positioning herself for a top 10 finish. Leading in the individual girls, Jamison Louie of Fort Bend Christian leads the field, while Lutheran South sets the pace in the team standings with a score of 348 for the girls.
As the championship progresses, all eyes are on Eaves and her fellow competitors as they prepare for the final round. With only the top 10 finishers earning all-state honors. The final round concludes today starting at 8am!
Good luck Erin!!

MKCHS is dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for students from early education to high school by ensuring a cohesive curriculum across all grades. The goal is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence for a successful high school journey. A big thank you goes to All Saints Episcopal School for their insights and commitment to enhancing our shared educational mission.
Congratulations to this year's Neches River Festival Queen, MKCHS Senior Isabella Duke!
Today, our school community was deeply inspired by Bishop Toups during our weekly all-school Mass. His homily reminded us of our divine calling to share our unique talents and gifts, no matter how big or small, with those in need. We are called to be the light in the darkness, bringing hope and compassion to others.
At MKCHS we are incredibly blessed to be part of a school where we can put this calling into action through our service and community projects. Thank you, Bishop Toups, for leading us today in Mass and for guiding us every day in our community. Your words have inspired us to continue shining our light brightly and making a positive difference in the lives of others.

Today marks the annual "Spring into Action" day for MKCHS, where students from Kelly High School come together to volunteer in their community, spanning Beaumont and surrounding cities. Engaging in local organizations, charities, and school grounds, students gain valuable lessons in the importance of community service and giving back to society.
We want to express our sincere appreciation to MKCHS parents Katie Bitar, Nicole Saba, Monica Broussard, Bonnie Tortorice, and all the parent and grandparent volunteers for their outstanding efforts in making this St. Joseph's Day celebration unforgettable. Your dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm have truly enhanced the experience for everyone involved. Thank you for your invaluable contributions and for exemplifying the spirit of community and generosity.
Congratulations to our exceptional students who were awarded their stoles during the honors breakfast, a testament to your relentless commitment to academic excellence. With immense pride, we applaud our Valedictorian Ben Steinman and Salutatorian Olivia Wu, anticipating the bright futures ahead for both of you.
Fifty MKCHS students, through our Key Club, joined forces with Rise Against Hunger on campus last Saturday. In just two and a half hours, they packed an impressive 15,000 meals! While the exact destination is pending confirmation, these meals are likely headed to the Philippines. The students took charge of every aspect, from fundraising to cleanup, showcasing their leadership and dedication. Each meal bag contains rice-soy fortified goodness, providing nourishment for six people. We pray these meals provide essential support where it's most needed.
Thank you, Key Club, for making a difference!
