Congratulations to our Light of Learning Award Winner, Ms. Bridget Sullivan!

Each year, our school community nominates teachers for the Light of Learning award. The winner is selected from the nominations sent in by students, parents, and teachers. This teacher is then honored at a special luncheon with Bishop during Catholic Schools Week.

Light of Learning teachers are models of Christ’s love. They follow Christ’s example in being a master teacher - one who inspires and leads others to know, love and serve the Lord with joy.  Light of Learning teachers exemplify excellence in teaching and the desire to keep learning.
