There is good and there are those who do good. Today, we are here to recognize both. I don’t know if I’m here to praise Mr. Hunter, “Coach Stan,” as a teacher, a coach, a mentor, a volunteer or even as a sock aficionado, because he is all those things and more. He is the model of dedication to our children. He is loved by our youngest and respected by our oldest. He is the manifestation of good, in the morning, afternoon and evening. He is a teacher, formally in our classrooms, but also in our lunch room, our hallways and on this field. It is here that he is best known, preparing our children to compete in events, and in life. Though our churches and schools tend to be named after Saints, I think that this other gathering place is aptly named. On behalf of Ave Maria Academy, thank you Coach Stan.

Semi Formal Beach Themed!

Michael Murphy is a 2020 graduate of Saint Thomas More School/Ave Maria Academy and is currently a junior at Central Catholic high school. Michael enjoyed his time at STM/AMA and part of that was being a part of the Forensics team. At Central Catholic, he has continued his love of Forensics, specifically in the event of public forum debate. Also, the Central Catholic Forensics team recently won back-to-back Pennsylvania middle division state titles! The seed for his forensics success was planted by Miss Farnsworth in third grade and nurtured by Mrs. Rickard in middle school at STM and is now blooming at Central Catholic. We would love to congratulate Michael, as he continues to use his talent and skills in public speaking that he gained here at AMA.
