Student Spotlight – Our Lady of Lourdes – Class of 2016

“The thing I would like everyone to know about me is justice,” said Maximo, Our Lady of Lourdes eighth grader. “I want everyone to care about each other. It’s all about respect.”

Maximo is graduating from Lourdes and continuing his education at Mount Michael Benedictine in the fall. He’s interested in playing football and soccer there, as well as continuing his success in math and English courses. Maximo enjoys math the most because “every problem has a solution.”

He transferred to Our Lady of Lourdes in sixth grade and is grateful for his Catholic education. Maximo finds a Catholic education to be more challenging and focused on equality in the classroom. Every student is provided with an equal opportunity to achieve his or her personal best.

“I would always choose Catholic school. Every time,” Maximo said.
