(Eric ) I think a Delone Catholic education is important because it's critical to be surrounded by your
faith. (Victoria) When I walk through the doors of Delone Catholic, I see so many opportunities ahead of me.
(Dave) My father first of all went to Delone Catholic. (Ava) My Pap, my dad, and my brother all had number 10 when
they played football at Delone. (Fr. Miller) All my brothers and sisters, I'm the oldest of nine, we all went to Delone.
There's kind of like a generational thing, you know really powerful here at Delone. (Aidan) My mom and then my
grandparents and my great-grandparents all went here, so it shows really what Delone meant to them
to send me here. (Donna) I think it's a given that families continue to send their kids here and then their
grandkids come here. I think it's because of the experience they have when they're here. I think
that you just fall in love. (Gabi) I graduated here in 2017. Now coming back as a teacher
it feels like coming home. All of the things that you took from your high school career are
are still here and I can also try to give back to my students what my teachers gave to me. (Ava)
I think a Catholic education is important because we get to learn more about God and learn how to be better
disciples of Him. (Aidan) We're held to a higher like standard of character here that really helps us
in our future lives. (Michele) I think servant leadership is important for a Squire because that's what
we're called to do in our lives. We're not supposed to live independent lives and only for
ourselves. (Eric) I think the spirit of a Squire is see the best in everybody and and bring it out of
them. (Victoria) Squires are faithful. Squires are welcoming. Squires are loyal. Squires are strong. It's the
mark that you leave on the school, on the town, on people that go here, people that you meet, how you
fulfill your purpose, the purpose that God put you on this Earth for. (Fr. Miller) For me it means I live what I
believe, that it isn't just stuff that's on a page. (Eric) Yeah it's tough sometimes from a financial
standpoint, but there is an entire community of people who believe so strongly in what we
do here that they're willing to help invest in not just their own families, but in growing the
Delone Catholic Family. (Michele) It it's incredibly important to us that we sacrifice that for
our children and for all the kids that need these places to grow and thrive in in our area. (Gabi) I always
say there's something about Delone kids. There's just this magic to them. They're very accepting
and everyone feels very much like they belong. (Michele) It's a family and I think that has transitioned
now to the Spirit of a Squire, but I think it kind of means the same thing - that we are a big
family and we will be there for one another. It's not just, you know, outliers coming together in a
school. It is once you're here you a Squire and you're part of this family. (Gabi) We're small, but our
reach is is expansive. (Dave) Delone means my life because I've been here, seems like forever. (Donna) The one thing
that I think is the most important thing is that Delone is always here. I think that it's important
for the community. it's important for the families, it's important for the kids. When I retire, I
don't want to go unless I know who sits in my chair in my office is going to make sure that
the school stays where it needs to be. (Eric) I am proud that I'm a Squire and that I come from a legacy of
Squires.
