What impact did Catholic education have on your life and career goals?
My daughters both attended Xavier College Preparatory. Rigorous and competitive education teaches students resilience, which is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and persevere through difficult situations. My daughters learned to manage their time effectively, prioritize their goals, and develop a growth mindset. We feel that these skills have helped them in their college careers and will help them in today’s fast-paced job market.
Why do you partner with Catholic Education Arizona?
