³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ Alumna Named Leadership and Wellness Coordinator
³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ (³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ) alumna Claire Austin '21, '23 has been named the leadership and wellness coordinator at St. Laurence High School.
In the role, Austin will work directly with students in leadership activities and plan leadership events throughout the year. She'll also assist in planning wellness activities for the staff.
"We already have a great foundation, so I am looking forward to enhancing it and bringing new ideas to the role," said Austin.
Austin credits her time at ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ for preparing her for the role. Whether on the court or in the classroom, she found that her professors and coaches always encouraged her to have a voice.
"My time at ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ showed me how to be a successful leader. I learned to not be afraid to speak up and to always bring a positive mindset to the table," said Austin.
Austin was drawn to study business at ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ because she knew it'd be helpful in any career path.
