Faith Formation

At Guadalupe Regional Middle School, faith formation is a cornerstone of our educational mission, intricately woven into the fabric of daily life. We provide dailiy prayer, prayer to begin each class, a daily religion class, and weekly Mass. Our dedicated religion teachers guide students through sacramental preparations, including First Holy Communion, in close collaboration with Our Lady of Guadalupe Church and others. Celebrations such as Mother's Day Mass and special Founders' Masses foster a deep sense of community and spiritual growth. Our annual retreats provide transformative experiences that encourage personal reflection, community building, and a strengthened relationship with God. Through these comprehensive faith formation efforts, we aim to nurture students' spiritual development, ensuring they are well-prepared for their lifelong journey of faith.

Extended Day

At Guadalupe Regional Middle School, our educational model extends beyond traditional hours, incorporating an extended school day designed to keep students engaged longer and expose them to diverse interests. This approach includes a mandatory Activity Period where students participate in various enriching activities, like art, sports, creative writing, and more, fostering both academic and personal growth. As part of our extended day program, students participate in House System activities that include spiritual, academic, and social events, promoting holistic development and school spirit. Additionally, we offer a free, optional after-school tutorial program, providing students with extra academic support and the opportunity to excel in their studies. This comprehensive model ensures that our students not only receive quality education but also develop a wide range of skills and interests in a supportive environment.

Additionally, each year, 10 students are awarded full scholarships to attend Camp Marist in New Hampshire for two weeks. This traditional summer camp experience offers them the opportunity to participate in a variety of recreational activities, fostering personal growth and creating lifelong memories. It is truly a life-changing experience.
