Andrés A. is…
A Faith Filled Disciple – “Andrés is a faith filled disciple because he always has insightful commentary in Religion class
and this shows his spiritual maturity.” Anonymous, SBHS Student
A Passionate Learner – “Andrés captures his audience when making a presentation, with his grasp of social
skills as well as his knowledge of thematic issues. All should strive to excel like Andrés has while carrying a
full load of AP courses.” Tylene Devine, AP Literature
An Innovative Thinker – “Andrés A. is a prime example of an innovative thinker. In AP Calculus, not only does
Andrés come prepared and ready to work, but he also pushes himself and thinks outside of the box. Rather than giving
up when something is hard, he uses both new and prior knowledge to try and solve the problem.” Elizabeth Hochstetler,
Department Chair of Math and Science
A Courageous Leader – “Andrés A. is highly motivated in all aspects of his education. He wants to be the best
student in his class and possibly the school and he will work hard to achieve this goal.” John Caulfield, AP History
An Honorable Citizen –“Andrés has been a committed member and leader of the Model United Nations team. He
thrives in thinking about how to solve global issues. He is never anything less than honorable and serves his St. Bernard
community with zeal.” Dr. Cynthia Hoepner, Principal
The mission of St. Bernard High School is to inspire students to be faith-filled disciples, passionate learners, courageous
leaders, innovative thinkers, and honorable citizens. We anchor this college preparatory education in Roman Catholic
tradition and a diverse, faith-based community.
