secretary. Pat has always been a member of the SMA community

Conception Parish Health Nurse. When the position of school

her skills and try something new. Pat works wonderfully with
those around her and the students have extended a warm welcome.

Jerry has been the
Maintenance Director at SMA since January 2003. While continuing
to run his own landscape contracting business, Jerry still manages
to find the time to put into his work here at SMA. Although
his job is considered part-time the amount of time Jerry puts
in far exceeds that. Since coming on board, Jerry has resurrected
the work parties that were once a popular gathering time for
the men of SMA in earlier years. The "Hoot-n-Holler"
group continues to meet on Wednesday evenings at the school
to work on various projects in and around the school. Jerry
and his wife Maggie are a wonderful asset to SMA as their time
and dedication to the school is endless. Jerry and Maggie have
two daughters, Maeve and Noreen who currently attend SMA.
