Dear MQT Family:

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the students who have been selected by the MQT faculty to represent Marquette Catholic High School at this year's LaPorte County Leadership Program.  Students were selected based on their potential as a leader.  They were not individually selected nor did they apply for this opportunity.  Those students who received the most nominations from the faculty were chosen.

The students who will be attending the Leadership Program are Colleen Falk, James May, Daraus Starks, Taylor Bowen and Madison White.  Jon-Henry Papineau will return to the program as a student advisor.

I would also like to congratulate the students who were selected by their peers for this year's Homecoming.  Mr. Marquette Shawn O'Neill and Queen Mary Salyer.  Junior court - Brendan Robson and Rosemary Wall.  Sophomore court - Sonia Guzman and William Connelly.  Freshman court - Madeline Wojasinski and Nathan Shinn.

Catholic Schools Week / Spirit Week was a wonderful and exciting week!  Congratulations to all students for a job well done.

yours in faith and education -

James G. White
