President, Student Council
Where do you see Mount de Sales
Academy 25 years from now?
Mount de Sales will remain faithful
to the Catholic Church and
teachings of Saint Francis de Sales.
Mount de Sales Academy will
continue to act as a beacon guiding
others. The school instills an inner
compass to the Lord.
What is the single most important
change that you see as necessary
for the continued growth and
success of Mount de Sales
Academy?
A Performing Arts Building is
definitely the most important
change! With Music, Art, and Dance
Classes, our space constraints are
tough and more space is needed.
Other areas for change and growth
include advanced technology and
maintaining our beautiful, historic
building. In terms of the school's
growth, it is also important to find
sources of income outside of tuition
and help families afford a Mount de
Sales Academy education.
What do you see as potential
areas for growth at Mount de Sales
Academy?
I would like to see more Fine Arts
offerings and additional electives
offered in the curriculum such as
the "survival skills" of cooking and
time management. I would also like
to see a program for students with
learning differences.*

We will continue to advance with
the times and be a top competitor.
I envision campus improvements,
including a Performing Arts
Building, more cafeteria space, and
enhanced classroom technology.
I would also like to see continued
academic and professional growth
within the student body and faculty.
What is the single most important
change that you see as necessary
for the continued growth and
success of Mount de Sales
Academy?
As emphasized in our Capital
Campaign: Anchored in Excellence
Charting our Future, we must
address the need for a Fine Arts
space. As part of the big picture
plan for Mount de Sales Academy,
the Fine Art building is Phase III of
the campaign.
Also, the continuous professional
development for faculty and staff,
advancement in technology, and
physical maintenance of our historic
school.
