This week, members of the Shamrock Broadcasting Team visited @WatchMarquee Sports Network Studios. Marquee was gracious enough to host us after our students had the opportunity to broadcast football and basketball games on the network earlier this year as part of the Community Showcase. The students were able to network with local professionals, go behind the scenes into the broadcast production, and take a private tour of Wrigley Field. Thank you to the Marquee team for their hospitality!
Happy College Decision Day! 🎓
Today we’re celebrating our senior Shamrocks who have officially committed to their next chapter. We’re proud to see where your hard work and dedication have led you and we’re excited for all that’s ahead!

Congratulations to our Career & Technical Education Department Chair, Magda Piper, on being honored by @tritoncollege for her outstanding work as an adjunct faculty member.
This award reflects what we see every day at St. Pat’s - her dedication to students, passion for teaching, and commitment to building real-world pathways for our young men.
Well deserved, and we’re proud to call her a Shamrock. 🍀

CONGRATS COACH!!!
St. Patrick has been better than expected all season long. The Shamrocks hung with Benet and Curie.
And now they are beating highly-ranked squads. St. Patrick doesn't have a star, but it is a real team. The Shamrocks upset Marist on the road tonight.
