Hello Day is an annual tradition at Catholic High. Seniors welcome freshmen into the Catholic High family. The day begins in the cafeteria where Big Sisters present their Little Sisters with baskets filled with stuffed teddy bears, candy, and balloons. After lunch, the auditorium fills with laughter and excitement as the students, faculty, and staff perform skits that introduce the freshmen to life at Catholic High.
