Our Lady of the Lakes' very own, Kitty Farkas, was awarded the Amazing Catholic Educator award by the Catholic Foundation of Michigan in 2021. Per the Catholic Foundation, this award "recognizes teachers, specialists and administors across the Archdiocese of Detroit who are creating a school culture that is proudly Catholic, academically excellent, accessible to all, and sustainable for the future."
