Dear Priory Families,

Many of you have likely read the news about St. Louis County's recommendations for schools reopening in the fall. In the video above, I've shared some of my thoughts on our back-to-school plan and the way forward for the Priory community. I hope you'll take a minute or two to tune in.

I know that a lot of things are changing rapidly in regard to the pandemic, and there will certainly be more changes to come. We will remain in contact with county health officials, the archdiocese and the Independent Schools of St. Louis to stay on top of the latest developments and make the best, most informed choices for our students and families.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time — as always, I am happy to answer any questions or address any concerns you might have as we get closer to the first day of school on Thursday, Aug. 27. I remain grateful to you for your support, patience, and dedication to our school. 

Laus Tibi Domine, and God bless you all. 

Father Cuthbert Elliott, O.S.B., '02
Headmaster
