Retreats

Retreats at San Miguel High School are an essential part of the student experience, providing intentional time away from the regular school routine to reflect, recharge, and grow in faith. Rooted in our Lasallian Catholic identity, retreats are designed to help students deepen their relationship with God, strengthen their sense of self, and build meaningful connections with their peers and teachers.

Through prayer, reflection, small-group sharing, and guided activities, students are invited into a space of quiet and openness where they can listen more attentively to their own experiences and to the presence of God in their lives. These moments of intentional pause are integral to forming authentic relationships and fostering a community grounded in trust, respect, and care for one another.

Class Level Retreats and Themes

Freshman - You Belong

YOU BELONG is the freshman retreat experience at San Miguel High School. The retreat is a required one-day retreat experience for all freshmen students at San Miguel; the retreat takes place during the days in August of the new academic year. Since the Freshman Experience program in its entirety, is about what it means to be a student at San Miguel, the freshman retreat holds a key place in the program as the primary way in which the new freshmen reflect upon this new venture at San Miguel. All the activities are focused on the three major topics of Faith, Service, and Community, and throughout the day the freshmen, both individually and collectively, find just some of the new relationships that will support them throughout their years at San Miguel

Sophomore - Our Values, My Future

OUR VALUES, MY FUTURE is the sophomore retreat experience at San Miguel High School.. The sophomore retreat is a required one-day retreat experience for all sophomore students at San Miguel. As a celebration of our Lasallian community and Core Principles, and as a beginning of the college discernment process, sophomores spend a day in reflection on their being engaged in our shared Lasallian heritage as well as reflecting on a Lasallian college-preparatory education.

Junior - Journey: Choices in Leadership

Journey: Choices in Servant Leadership is the junior retreat experience at San Miguel High School, and is an one day retreat experience. The topic gives retreatants a chance to reflect upon the call as Christians to be servant leaders and help inform the way in which they make decisions in their life. Many important choices begin to surface for junior students, and this retreat allows the individual retreatant a supportive environment to examine the role of choices within his or her life.

Senior - Kairos

KAIROS is the senior retreat experience at San Miguel High School, and is a three-day and two-night retreat experience. KAIROS retreatants are invited to consider how their entire life, past, present, and future, is itself a journey that includes the need for self-awareness, the loving support of others, and the presence of God in their lives; the tone is continually vocational.

The first Kairos retreat, Kairos 1, took place in 2014.
