UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
The diverse, tight knit community at Central Catholic, along with individualized attention from my teachers, helped me prepare for success in college.
My time at Central Catholic prepared me for college by teaching me how to lead, connect with others, and stay true to what I love.
LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY
Central Catholic’s emphasis on leadership, academics, and community ministry prepared me for college by teaching me discipline, responsibility, and the importance of serving others. These experiences gave me the confidence and skills to not only perform to my highest abilities but also succeed in making a positive impact beyond the classroom and setting myself up for big opportunities.
I was allowed to rigorously pursue a plethora of interests in an intentional way while being supported and guided in meaningful interactions with my classmates.
Student Council gave me confidence as a leader, my friends taught me the importance of community, and theater pushed me to take risks and pursue my passion.
NI|MENTORSHIP YOUR NEXT MENTOR. The right person can help you see what’s possible. From teachers and counselors to coaches and support staff, you’ll find mentors who challenge you, support you, and believe in what you’re capable of.
You don’t have to figure out what’s next alone.

My favorite part of teaching is forming relationships with students and seeing them grow into amazing individuals. I once had a student say “you believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself.” Showing up and challenging them matters. When they leave Central Catholic, I know they are going to do amazing things because our entire faculty and staff have prepared them to be their best.
Advocating for students is at the heart of my work. I want them to leave Central Catholic with confidence in their abilities, the skills to advocate for themselves, and the belief that they can succeed.
There is nothing more rewarding than watching a student/athlete discover their potential, pursue their goals and aspirations, and understand that their effort, attitude, and choices can shape what they are capable of accomplishing. More importantly, I hope they recognize that true success is not only about what they achieve, but about the joy they bring to others and the positive impact they have on the people around them.
YOUR NEXT MOVE.
You’ve seen what’s possible. Now it’s time to EXPERIENCE it for yourself.
