Catholic Schools Week is a time to celebrate the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.
"A Catholic education truly blends a rigorous, relevant curriculum while instilling Christ's values in the lives of our students," says Anthony. "The goal is to develop our students to be life-long learners whose spiritual values can guide them through the challenges of life. Ultimately, we want our students to take as much pride in their faith life as their academic achievements."
Group projects, retreats and trips, layout night for the Flyer newspaper, summer orientations as a leader, and late nights as a RA are some of Anthony's fondest memories from his time at Lewis. All very unique from one another, yet, all rooted by one thing - faith.
After graduation from Lewis, Anthony began working at St. Daniel the Prophet School - his alma mater. In 2019, he went back to Lewis to pursue a Master of Education degree. And as a result, he was recently named Assistant Principal in addition to serving as an eighth grade social studies and religion teacher.

"Not only do I get to continue teaching and help prepare my students for high school, but I get to help lead a school community I care so deeply about. Every day, I make sure I do whatever I can to make a positive difference for my students, helping them to learn, laugh, and grow in their faith. I can't wait to serve in a greater capacity with an amazing group of people to help our school continue to thrive," adds Anthony.
Anthony understands the critical role that a Catholic education can play in the lives of tomorrow's leaders. So much so, that in addition to teaching, he serves as a Lewis Alumni Representative to help make a differences in more ways than one. He has partnered with the Education Department and helped to recruit new graduates for potential teaching positions. As a leader at Lewis, he also encourages fellow alumni to stay connected and support today's Flyers.
"I try to model my faith through my teaching as well as my involvement in the parish community. My hope is that students see my passion for both teaching and my faith in my words and actions. I can only hope through my service to the school and community, my students can be inspired to proudly live out their faith."
