I graduated from SJB more than a decade ago, but every new alumnae experience reminds me why the school remains a cornerstone in my life. I've stayed connected as a proud Jeanite - volunteering at Open Houses, welcoming new families, teaching in the University Bound program, and recently chaperoning the inaugural study abroad trip to France. Each opportunity has helped me live out the values I gained at St. Jean's while continuing to grow personally and professionally.
St. Jean's isn't exactly the same school I left in 2012, and I'm glad. Its ability to grow and adapt makes me proud. In a world that is constantly changing, SJB remains remarkably resilient. Today's students are still big-hearted, grounded and determined, navigating high school with the same grace and tenacity that shaped my own experience. Jeanites are special, and every time I reconnect with the community, I'm reminded just how true that is. It's why I'll always come back and why I'll always give back.
