Meghann Gryp attributes her success to the enriching educational experience of Catholic education. Meghann received Catholic Education Arizona scholarships to attend Our Lady of Perpetual Help Scottsdale and Xavier College Preparatory in 2003. The high academic standard prepared Meghann for a successful career in radio sales and media advertisements.
“Catholic educators inform the whole person – academically, spiritually, and emotionally, which shaped the person I am today.”
Catholic education promotes academic success while integrating faith and character development. “Catholic schools provided me with an incredible foundation of faith, discipline, and well-rounded academics that have made my life easier in many ways,” Meghann said.
Meghann is approaching a decade as Senior Account Executive for Gannett in Phoenix, Arizona, working with large, multi-location clients primarily in healthcare. “I fell in love with the advertising side of media and have continued in sales ever since, spending time selling for national network talk radio and Gannett / USA Today Network,” she said.
“Being a mother to my twins is my biggest accomplishment!”
Raising five-year-old twins, Quinn and Charlie, Meghann and her husband, David, feel blessed to send their children to St. Theresa Catholic School.
Alongside the rigorous academic standards, a Christ-centered education allows her children to learn about their faith in a like-minded environment. “Every day, I’m reminded of why we have chosen to send them to Catholic school and the positives of my own experiences,” Meghann said.
“The community at a Catholic school envelopes you in love, support, and friendship that just isn’t found easily.”
To this day, Meghann still holds cherished memories of her time in Catholic school. ““My closest friends are still from OLPH and Xavier. One special memory was when I was confirmed at sixteen with all my best friends from Xavier,” she said. “We still laugh about the fun we had together, and it was a wonderful experience!”
