A Heartfelt Thank You!

Having taught in a High School and Middle School for the last nine years, I am often reminded of the gift I had in More Academy.  In a world where kids seem to grow up too fast, and are faced with so much negative peer pressure, I am so grateful to have spent my Junior High and High School in such a grace-filled environment.

I'm grateful for many things...
For faculty and staff that made the sacraments so readily available to us - Mass, Adoration, Confession, First-Friday and Marian devotions helped create a Catholic Culture that was the foundation of a fantastic school. For the teachers who inspired and challenged us, I felt completely
prepared for college and all the challenges life presents. For the positive peer pressure I experienced, and the life-long friendships I formed.

I am convinced that the guidance and instruction I received in those very formative years pointed me in the right direction, and helped me make the decisions that have brought me to where I am today.  I will be forever grateful, and pray my own daughters are blessed with a school like STMA where academics are taught, and the Faith is lived!
