Rooted & Rising is a short, story‑driven podcast celebrating the people, practices, and moments that shape our Catholic school system. Each episode highlights everyday stories from classrooms, campuses, and communities: rooted in faith, formed by family spirit, and rising toward academic excellence.

In this trailer, host Andrew McDonald shares the heart behind the podcast and what listeners can expect each week. Episodes are designed to be thoughtful, accessible, and meaningful, inviting parents, educators, students, and friends of our schools to pause, reflect, and notice the good work happening all around us.
