WE ASKED OUR ALUMNI
Why did you return to Gibbons to teach? ASHLEY KOVACS ’08 Music Teacher “I chose to return to Cardinal Gibbons because I wanted to teach in an environment where I could share my faith in God, my love for music, and to try to be a good influence on my students in the way that teachers that I had greatly influenced me.” GABI BURN ’08 Science Teacher “I chose a life in education BECAUSE of Cardinal Gibbons. The people at this school... guided me and inspired me and supported me.... I wanted to do the same for students. I want to have the same impact.” SARAH KUSZAJ ’95 Science Teacher “I knew when I decided to become a teacher that someday I wanted to come back to Gibbons to teach. After teaching for a while I was ready for a change and had a positive experience as a student and great teachers while I was here so I took the chance to come back.”
THERESA SHEA ’86 Spanish Teacher & Current Parent “There was never a question my son would attend Gibbons -- he had always looked forward to being a Crusader. Little did I know, I’d be a Crusader again as well. But when I visited campus and met Jason Curtis and Nancy Barkan, I was blown away. I knew I would be incredibly fortunate to work with them.” JESSICA GREINER LOWE ’99 Social Studies Teacher/Varsity Women’s Basketball Coach
“When I was a senior in college I met with Brother Michel and he told me he didn’t have any openings. I was totally devastated and could not imagine having to work at another school. Right before my college graduation, I was at the pool and Brother called and told me he had a spot but he wasn’t sure what I would be teaching. I told him I was in!!”
