Throughout the 2018-2019 school year, Catholic

Memorial students excelled at every grade level.

Inspired and encouraged by an exceptional faculty, our students rose to the
challenge of a rigorous, comprehensive curriculum to achieve more than they

thought possible.

S TRIVING F OR MORE
Nicole Adams came to Catholic Memorial as a sophomore transfer
student after teachers at her previous school discouraged her from taking
advanced courses, implying her dyslexia would keep her from achieving
success. Nicole dismissed that notion. She knew she was capable of
more. “Nobody understood my true capabilities,” she said. So she
enrolled at Catholic Memorial where teachers pushed and encouraged
her and she found the support she needed through small class sizes,
individual attention and the Academic Resource Center. Nicole was
also active in the National Honor Society, Student Ambassadors and as
Captain of the Pom & Dance Team. Nicole graduated from CMH in May
2019 and is currently attending St. Thomas University on a full academic
scholarship.

“ Catholic Memorial allowed me to thrive! ”

G AINING REAL - W ORLD EXPERIENCE
A few afternoons a week, Owen Stoehr leaves Catholic Memorial early and
heads to Husco International. He swipes his badge and joins the team of
engineers working to support production of a line of hydraulic cartridge
valves. He is just one of several students participating in a pilot program
that pairs CMH seniors with corporate partners who provide critical
hands-on learning through internships designed to give the students real-
world experience working alongside professionals. “This experience has
allowed me to further my leadership and communication skills, all while
expanding my technical knowledge in engineering,” Owen said.

“ At Catholic Memorial I’ve gained an education far

beyond what is possible in the classroom and made

”
connections that will help me throughout my life.
