2026 Catholic Staff Nominations
The goal of a Catholic education is to go beyond knowledge and skills. Rather, it opens the mind, transforms the heart, and ignites the soul. Below are teachers that families chose to thank for making this a reality for their child(ren). We thank all of our teachers and staff for your faith and commitment to Educating for Eternity!
Nominee’s Name: Virginia Camara
School Name: All Saints Catholic School
Nominated By: Patricia Ferreira
My family and I are thankful for how Virginia goes above and beyond her every day responsibilities as an administrative assistant. Virginia is the first person you see when you enter All Saints and you can always count on being welcomed with a kind smile and Christian values! All three of my children have attended All Saints and my youngest still does. Mrs. Camara is All Saints family! Anyone who knows her knows how much she loves All Saints! May she continue to be blessed by the Holy Spirit in all that she does for our school and its future!
Nominee’s Name: Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Bouchard
School Name: Holy Trinity
Nominated By: Nikki Carvalho
Zachary came to Holy Trinity carrying a lot of grief after the closing of his previous school, Saint Stanislaus. The transition was very difficult for him emotionally, and he struggled with leaving behind the only school community he had ever known. Because of this, making new friends and adjusting to a new environment was not easy. Those first few months were heartbreaking for both him and me as his mom.
Thankfully, he was met with incredible kindness, patience, and understanding from his teachers and staff. Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Bouchard has been such an important part of helping Zack feel safe, supported, and welcomed. She is always patient and gentle, taking the time to explain things, encourage him, and make sure he feels seen.
When Mrs. Dean needed to take time away for maternity leave, Mrs. Bouchard truly held down the fort. She stepped in with so much care, consistency, and kindness, helping Zack continue to feel safe and supported during another big transition. Having that stability meant so much to our family, and I am so grateful for the love and dedication she showed every day.
Even while Mrs. Dean was away, Zack missed her so much because of the connection and trust she had already built with him. That says so much about the kind of teacher she is.
We truly could not have asked for a better teacher team to welcome us into Holy Trinity. Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Bouchard have made such a difference in my child’s life this year, and for that I am so grateful.
Thank you, Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Bouchard, for all you do for Zachary and for loving your students so well.
