Roncalli High School launched the 2025–2026 school year in style on Saturday, August 2, with its annual Summer Social following freshman orientation and a welcome Mass. The Roncalli community showed up strong with close to 700 people in attendance for an evening of fun, fellowship and celebration.

This family-friendly gathering featured something for everyone: colorful bounce houses, face painting, outdoor games and a high-energy performance by the 3rd Generation Band. A variety of local food trucks served up crowd favorites, creating a festive atmosphere as guests mingled and enjoyed the evening with their Roncalli family.

“It was an incredible day filled with energy, faith and community to start our school year,” said Principal Kevin Banich (Roncalli 2009). “We are truly blessed with a phenomenal school and a vibrant community.”

The Summer Social set a joyful tone for the new academic year, emphasizing the values of connection, celebration and Catholic faith that define the Roncalli experience.
