• COS Alums Follow Different Paths – Overcome Obstacles to Pursue Goals – Profiles of Lisette Horne ’14 and Autam Mendez ’14.  When COS classmates Lisette Horne & Autam Mendez graduated from high school in 2018, they each had a clear and ambitious goal. Lisette knew she wanted to go to graduate school, while Autam wanted to play Division 1 basketball.  They shared their stories with us.
• Message from Father Steve – We walk by faith and not by sight…”  Stories of Lisette and Autam Mendez are made possible because of you. Lisette and Autam witness the act of faith you make; an act of faith in your school, an act of faith in your students, and an act of faith in what your generosity and commitment will and do achieve. What you do makes a difference, a profound difference in the student’s life and the lives of those whom the student touches.  The story of COS is truly part of your story.
