“I am so excited to be named the Diocesan Student of the Year. It is a huge honor, so I am extremely proud to represent my school in this way. St. Michael has allowed me to grow in leadership, in service, and in faith. The intimate feeling around campus helps students to cultivate these life skills and the ability to be so involved with my school has taught me the importance of serving others.”
