Eighth through eleventh grade students gathered for the Closing Mass on May 16, 2025. The newly selected Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion were announced and received a special blessing. Following Mass, the program continued with a wide range of awards, including academic, service, book, Literary Rally, and foreign language honors.

The St. Thérèse of Lisieux Award is given each year to the eighth grader who best exemplifies the saint’s virtues of faith, simplicity, and service. This student is known for her Christian attitude and quiet leadership, both in the classroom and in the community. She puts others first, often working behind the scenes with humility and a joyful spirit. Her everyday actions—kind, thoughtful, and selfless—reflect a deep commitment to faith and service. The 2025 recipient of this special award was Gracelyn Haydel.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Student Council Executive Board revealed the theme for the 2025–2026 school year: "MCA: Once Upon A Time."

Individual class themes were also announced:

SENIORS: "Time Flies When You Are Senior Butterflies"
JUNIORS: "The Suite Life at the Panther Plaza"
SOPHOMORES: "If the BLUE Fits (Cinderella)"
FRESHMEN: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"
8TH GRADE: "8th Grade Found Wonderland"
