The Mount's annual Booster Club picnic to initiate the new school year started out with a record sized crowd with an estimate of between 800-900 in attendance.

Last year Mount Michael finished the year with an enrollment of 163 students this year we start with 211! The student body is comprised of 37 international students from South Korea, China, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Spain, Thailand, Rwanda, and Canada. There is representation from South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska. Besides Omaha and Lincoln there are Knights from Bellevue, Bennington, Blair, Columbus, Dodge, Elkhorn, Fort Calhoun, Fremont, Gretna, LaVista, Morse Bluff, Papillion, Ralston, Scotia, Scribner, South Bend, Unadilla, Walton, Washington, Waterloo, and Valley. A number of brothers of upperclassmen populate the lower ranks. 8 alumni have sons who are students. Religious diversity is also a part of the 2008 – 2009 student body with several different faiths and flavors of those faiths represented.

Everyone is excited to get the year underway and are looking forward to the many new adventures and experiences that will unfold throughout the year.
