Lions Scholastic Competition


On Saturday, February 22, Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory hosted its 9th Annual Lions Scholastic Competition. This competition invites sixth and seventh-grade students from our local partner schools to compete in eight subject areas: English, Mathematics, Spanish, French, Theology, Science, Social Studies, and Fine Arts. 


That morning, everyone gathered together in the Dan J. Connor Gymnasium for registration and a welcome from Chaminade-Madonna administration. The participating schools were then divided into two divisions, determined by class size. Students were allowed to compete in one subject area, as exams for each subject area are given simultaneously. Students moved to classrooms to participate in the competition with testing lasting one hour. Our faculty and staff enjoy watching the students compete and celebrating their accomplishments. 


During the competition, parents and moderators enjoyed refreshments and had the opportunity to tour our campus. After the competition, an Awards Ceremony was held to announce the students who placed in each subject area along with overall division winners. Congratulations to St. Gregory Catholic School on winning the Red Division and St. Lawrence Catholic School on winning the Blue Division.


This event showcases our vibrant campus and academic offerings to prospective sixth and seventh-grade families. What a wonderful way to experience the #LionPride!

College Placement


Plan Ahead

All Juniors should take at least one standardized test this spring. Seniors, if you need qualifying test scores for the Bright Futures scholarship, continue to test!

CMCP College Tour

Theology Class - Cultural Exchange Activity

On February 12, students in Mr. Briones' Theology class participated in a virtual cultural exchange. This activity brought together students from two different countries to learn about each other's cultures and shared values. Sophomore students from Chaminade-Madonna interacted with junior students from Ateneo de Davao University in the Philippines (8 AM in Florida and 9 PM in the Philippines). Through Google Meet, they engaged in discussions about their cultures, traditions, everyday lives, and the spirituality and values that shape their school communities. This exchange provided an opportunity for students to learn from one another, deepen their understanding of different ways of life, and appreciate the commonalities in their educational and faith-based experiences.
