SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center would like to congratulate

Dr. John Peter Class of 1972 and

for being honored as Althoff Catholic High School’s

50 Distinguished Alumni & Rising Stars

English teachers, Mrs. Black ’04 and Mrs. McCracken ’00, both got their start at Queen of Peace Grade School. When Ms. Pearson was an 8th grader she came to Althoff Catholic for a “spend-a-day” visit. She was paired up with

Mrs. McCracken who was a senior at the time. Fast forward 15 years—we couldn’t be more proud of them as Althoff Catholic alumni, and we are grateful they chose to come back to teach.

“There is so much we love about Althoff Catholic. At the top of our list is Vice Principal and Coach Greg Leib. I love how he knows each student by name and stands in the hallway each day to greet them. I also appreciate the faith formation at Althoff Catholic. These four years are so crucial, and I’m glad Scott is able to focus on developing his relationship with Jesus and with the church. I love how challenging the honors classes are. Scott will be prepared for college without a doubt. I could go on and on. I am an educator and know that no school is perfect, but Althoff Catholic has far more strengths than weaknesses.” -Paula Semko (parent to Elizabeth ‘11 and Scott ‘16)

What do people like best about Althoff Catholic?

It’s like a family!

Inspires You?

I will be shadowing Dr. Patrick Neville ‘01 this summer. I am inspired by his willingness to assist me in gaining a better understanding of the medical field. Dermatology has always been an interest of mine. I want to be able to help people feel confident in their skin; especially teenagers since the majority of us go through a stage of having acne or other skin issues.

- Aliyah Gillespie Class of ‘16

“Matthew Poelker ‘79 and his work at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility inspires me. I hope my scientific curiosity will enable me to participate in research that answers central questions – the ones that address massive problems that modern society faces. My dream is to apply mathematics, and the natural sciences of all sorts, to the advancement of psychiatric treatment.

- A.J. DiGiovanni Class of ‘15

Brian Bayley ‘02 and Brian Hampton ‘03 are both an inspiration to me. It is my goal to apply what I have learned about service, leadership and teamwork as an athlete at Althoff to a successful career as a military leader and aviator.

- Bret Silvestri Class of ‘15

I am inspired by Dr. John Peter ‘72 and Yvette Hoeffken ‘80 for their work in pediatrics and oncology. “I hope my passion for helping others leads me to live out my dream of becoming a pediatric oncologist, working with children everyday.

- Alana Bramwell Class of ‘16

Dr. Jackie Kostelac ‘04 inspires me. I have wanted to be a dentist for most of my life. Seeing her succeed in an increasingly competitive field inspires me to continue chasing my dream. Additionally, Jackie’s successful pursuit of specializing in orthodontics pushes me to continue working hard so that I might have the chance to specialize in the area of dentistry that I find most interesting: oral and maxillofacial surgery.

- Jeffrey Murphy Class of ‘15

Magaret Doyle ‘85 and her status in the art world are very inspiring. My goal is to use my art in a way that will positively impact lives. I look forward to studying at California Polytechnic University in the fall.

- Liz BarnesClass of ‘15

I am inspired by Levicy Crawford ‘02, Caitlin Embrich ’04 and Lizzie Lehde ‘04. One day I want to be a lawyer, too. I want to make a difference. I want to fight for the little guys and the underdogs who no one has faith in. I want people to get the justice due to them, and I want to be the one to ensure they get it. To get there, I’ll continue to work on my speaking, get better at debating my views on things and telling the facts as they are.

- Gabby Sullivan Class of ’17

“As a Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, Frank Boudreaux ’88 served on the Presidential Protection Division for George W. Bush. My dream is to become President of the United States, and I would love to have someone like Frank protecting me.

- Stephen Bertelsman Class of ’15

Sister Mary Kennedy ’74 is an inspiration to me. It was an honor to serve alongside her in Honduras for my senior service project. Later in life I hope to go back to Honduras and continue to help the people of Monte Verde.

– Laura Simoneaux Class of‘15
