My years at Elyria Catholic were some of the happiest in my life. My education were of the highest standards with the Sisters of Notre Dame and prepared me for a wonderful career with a global firm. The relationships with my friends there were fantastic and many will last a lifetime. My many memberships in school organizations were interesting, fulfilling and added growth and new perspectives in my life.
