What inspired this school year’s theme, Believe to Achieve? 

“Besides the fun ring to it, I chose this school year’s theme because I think it takes on many forms and encapsulates many aspects of the Upper School experience.  I hope that it serves as an inspiration for students and faculty to believe in themselves, believe in the school community, and believe in God.  I think my theme also goes hand in hand with Mr. Baber’s theme of Courage and Confidence, as I think those are two important traits that play into all of the aforementioned ideas that inspired Believe to Achieve.”

What have you enjoyed the most about your new role in the Upper School? 

“In my new role in the Upper School, I have enjoyed meeting new people and taking on important responsibilities on behalf of the student body.  It has been great to be able to run meetings with the rest of the student council and work closely with them to ensure that all of our goals for the school year are met.  Additionally, I have had a lot of fun running morning meetings, and I hope to continue to improve them for everyone over the course of the next couple of months.”

As Student Body President, what are you most looking forward to this year?

“As Student Body President, I am most looking forward to leaving an impact on the Upper School community.  I hope to expand my own leadership skills while fostering a fun and welcoming environment for each and every student.  I aspire to be a voice for my peers and make a difference in their Sacred Heart experiences.”
