Principal's Message
As a school administrator, I never tire of seeing students in action. This week, I observed our Saints living out the pillar of Wonder in authentic ways. By “allowing our curriculum to foster reverence for life and its Creator”, as Father Long describes, I witnessed seniors working through the challenges of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as well as a junior class tackling the difficult topic of pornography, as it relates to human dignity. I hope that as we navigate the challenges and opportunities in our future, we will take inspiration from our students. As an example, read below how our state champion Indoor track and field team never gave up, never lost a sense of wonder, and faced challenges head-on with the spirit of a fighting Saint.

Indoor Lady Saints Track Team - Back-to-Back State Champs
The girls indoor track & field team posted a dominating performance at LSU Sunday to outpoint Episcopal 83-59 and earn their second consecutive Division II state championship. Senior Halyn Senegal led the Lady Saints, scoring 30.5 points by winning the 400 and 800 meter runs, placing second in the 60 meter dash and running the anchor leg of the 4 x 400 meter relay.

Favorite Quote: “Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?” -It’s A Wonderful Life
Favorite thing about teaching at St. Louis Catholic: Jesus has called me to so many wonderful places, and my job has always been to trust where he’s leading me. Right now it’s here at St. Louis, so I love that the administration and faculty are so open to spreading the Gospel through our every day subjects.
