Uplifting and Educational Speakers

The key note presenter was Ph.D. Daniel R. Baillargeon Superintendent of Schools Diocese of Springfield.  He delivered an engaging and uplifting message on how the core mission of Catholic schools, "Bring us to God" beautifully manifests itself within school life in so many ways. Continuously work to improve upon how we as individuals as well as our schools embody this mission, communicate this mission, and engage the community to help bring people together.
