School Story:
Of course I had a good high school education (in western Colorado), and out of all my post-secondary schooling since SMP, I would have to say that it (SMP) still stands as the best education I have had. My professors at SMP were all very passionate about their subjects, and I appreciated that they were not bogged down in school politics. They focused on teaching, which was a great gift to their students. Father Sheehan, Father Cummings, Sister Grace, Sister Lila, and John Nelson were wonderfully gifted teachers, and I still think about the things they taught me. The loss of SMP was a great tragedy. I had hoped to teach at SMP one day.
