Mr. Puskar's Mass Media class toured the television station of WJET & WFXP earlier this week. During their time, students were introduced to the sales department, members of the news team, and witnessed a live hour-long newscast. In fact, Jet 24 Meteorologist Craig Flint invited the students to be a part of the weather segments and give little shout outs to the viewers. You can view those segments at the link below! On behalf of the class, many thanks go out to the Jet 24 team for their hospitality and being gracious hosts! #Prep #MassMedia 🎥

Over the summer, AFJROTC Cadet Lincoln Laquidara '27 represented Cathedral Prep at Keystone Boys State and advanced to Boys Nation, becoming the first student in school history to earn this incredible opportunity.

He recently presented a gift to his sponsor, Wesleyville American Legion Post 571, in appreciation for their support and sponsorship that helped make this experience possible.

We are proud of Lincoln for not only representing Cathedral Prep at the national level, but also for taking the time to recognize those who supported him along the way.

Every donation matters and today was a powerful reminder of what our Prep community can accomplish when we come together for others.

Together, we came just shy of helping save 100 lives!

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, encouraged a friend, or helped make the day such a success! #Prep #GiveBlood #SaveLives 🩸

Our MedPath students had an incredible opportunity to attend the ninth annual UPMC Nursing Symposium, where they spent the day learning from healthcare professionals about the future of medicine and nursing. Sessions explored everything from AI and technology in healthcare and modern patient care to women’s health, leadership, and compassion in medicine.

One session that especially resonated with our students was “The Pause: An Act of Compassion,” which focused on palliative care and the importance of honoring the human side of medicine. It sparked meaningful conversations and gave our students a powerful reminder that healthcare is about much more than treating a diagnosis, it is about caring for the whole person.

A huge thank you to the Hamot Health Foundation for sponsoring our students and making it possible for MedPath to take advantage of experiences like this. We are incredibly grateful for their continued investment in the next generation of healthcare professionals! #MedPath ⚕️
