Life in the City
It is impossible to live in Pensacola without frequently enjoying its white sand, lovely beaches! Pensacola is probably most well-known for the large Naval base (which is located just a few miles down the road from St. John’s). It has a lovely historic district and down at the beach, it has a great boardwalk full of shops and eateries. The weather in P’cola is wonderful. Hot summers and mild winters—it can get cold from time to time, but just enough to make one appreciate the usual climate.

Catholic education has played a vital role in the opportunities that were provided to me and the person I am today. Having the opportunity to give back to Catholic education is something I am excited for!

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
I said yes to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE because I have a passion for teaching and want to help children discover their gifts. When children know their strengths, they can use them to help the world doing small acts with great love.
