Sixth Grade

As I begin my second year at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School, I am filled with gratitude and anticipation for what lies ahead. It has been a joy to grow alongside our school community, and I am honored to continue serving our junior high students as they prepare for high school and, more importantly, for the lifelong journey of faith and purpose.

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 texts, engaging discussions, and hands-on research, they 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 college, career, and heaven-bound.

Here’s to a year of growth, grit, and grace!
