Personal Statement
I believe that the mission of a Catholic school is to work with young people and their families in order to help each student grow in his or her faith and intellectual life. In keeping with the best of Catholic tradition, Catholic school academic programs must be outstanding. I teach both College Preparatory and Advanced Placement History. All of my classes focus on developing analytical reading and writing skills in addition to mastering historical knowledge.
