As I begin my third year at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School, I am eager for what lies in the 2026-2027 school year.
Junior high is more than a grade level—it’s a mindset. In my ELA and Social Studies classes, students will be challenged to think critically, express themselves clearly, and explore the deeper truths that shape our world. Through meaningful literature, engaging discussions, and research, students will develop skills that not only prepare them for academic success but also strengthen their moral compass.
Our work together this year will be rooted in curiosity, courage, and Catholic values—because here at St. Anthony, we believe in forming students who are heaven and college-bound.
Here’s to a year of growth, grit, and grace!
