Today, January 30, our Lions Leading Lions participated in leadership training on campus. Lions Leading Lions is a group of student leaders involved in athletics, Campus Ministry, and student life. Today, their leadership training was led by Student ACES, an organization that shapes the leaders of tomorrow by creating a pathway for students to achieve the highest standards of leadership. Student ACES believes the combination of athletics, community, and education enables students to succeed in all aspects of their lives. We hope our Lions apply what they learned today to their leadership and daily life on campus.
Tee Off for a Cause: 58th Annual Golf Classic
Get ready for a tee-rific day on the course as Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory proudly hosts the 58th Annual Golf Classic on Friday, April 10, at Woodmont Country Club. This beloved tradition brings together alumni, current families, friends, and community partners for a day of friendly competition, fellowship, and Lion pride.
The Golf Classic plays a vital role in supporting the Chaminade-Madonna student experience. Proceeds from the event help strengthen our academic, athletic, arts, and extracurricular programs—ensuring our students continue to thrive in and out of the classroom.
Participants can look forward to a first-class golf experience, on-course contests, networking opportunities, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on our school community—all while enjoying a wonderful day on the greens.
