We asked our newest Ambassador to answer a few questions so we can get to know her better.

Photo provided by Cindy’s Photo.

School Sisters of Notre Dame Central Pacific Province

I am a 1987 alum of Notre Dame High School. I have worked in the Resource Development office for the School Sisters of Notre Dame since January of 1992. I have been with my husband, Farrell, for 33 years and married 27. We don’t have any children, but we have 3 great nephews that we love to spoil. I have one brother and my mom and dad lived in Lemay until a few years ago when my mom (NDHS ’64) moved to take care of my grandmother; my father passed away 12 years ago.

I love to be with friends and family. They call me Julie the Cruise Director because I am always planning our get-together’s. Love to be in any kind of water … pool, lake, river, ocean! My best friend was the pianist for Air Supply for 15 years and then continue his classical career. I was fortunate to be able to travel all over the US and parts of Canada with him.

“Sometimes you will never know the VALUE of a moment, until it becomes a MEMORY.” Dr. Seuss So hard to pick a favorite … New York City

I like to meet new people and encouraging them to become part of the cause.

I hope to help with the transition of Lemay folks to the Affton-Lemay Chamber. I have thoroughly enjoyed being involved the last six months, and look forward to the future joined organization.

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CERTIFICATE

The 98th Missouri General Assembly passed legislation in 2016 which required the State Board of Education, in consultation with the CTE Advisory Council, to establish minimum requirements for a career and technical education (CTE) certificate that a student can earn in addition to his or her high school graduation diploma. Students graduating in the 2020-2021 school year are the first to be eligible to earn a career and technical education (CTE) certificate.

The requirements set forth by the State Board of Education are intended to provide students with the necessary technical and employability skills to be prepared for an entry-level career or additional training in a technical field. Students must meet all requirements in order to receive the CTE certificate.

It is intended that schools support student efforts to accomplish these requirements through the development and monitoring of the individual career and academic plan (ICAP) based on a career pathway.

Affton School District had 33 students who earned the certificate last year.
