Tracey Lafayette, Physical Education/Health Teacher

“To have a successful life, you must have self-acceptance and you must be happy.  I decided to go to college to become a physical therapist.  After the first year, I realized I really didn't enjoy it and did not want every day of my life to be unhappy.  I went back to school to become a health/physical education teacher. So far I feel that my life has been successful.”

Melissa McConville, Math Teacher "Upon graduation from Saint Vincent College, I was awarded the President’s Award.

This humbling and inspiring award had a big influence on my confidence as a student leaving college to find and make a place in the world. I can’t express how much it meant to me to receive this honor from so many people that believed in me and that I admired - teachers, mentors, and friends. I still feel such humility and pride as the winner of this award. I hope as a graduate and alumnus I have continued to bring pride to the Saint Vincent College community. "
