Melanie Mitchell & Amanda Giddens In February of 2013, Alumni Amanda Giddens and Melanie Mitchell visited Metro Catholic to share their fond memories. They were delighted to find many staff members they remember still working at Metro Catholic. Both women were with us from Preschool through graduation in 1999. Amanda then went on to Padua Franciscan High School and Melanie to St. Augustine High School. Much to their surprise they met up again later as students at Cleveland State. They became daily study partners and both graduated with a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree in 2011. Currently Amanda is working in out-patient sports re-hab for University Hospitals and Melanie is employed by the Life Care Center of Elyria that specializes in short-term re-hab. Both have goals of additional physical therapy certifications. In addition to academic training, both women believe the Metro Catholic nurtured interactive personal skills and team work. They recall that their teachers really believed in them and treated everyone with empathy and compassion. Congratulations to Amanda and Melanie. We are proud of you!! |

Tatiana Perez Tatiana attended Metro Catholic from Preschool through Gr. 8, graduating in 2006. After high school at St. Joseph Academy, Tatiana spent one year at Walsh University before returning home to assist her family. Tatiana remembers Metro Catholic as a quality academic experience with lots of extras. She participated in after-school programs that included robotics, choir, garden club, yearbook and basketball. She especially enjoyed PACE, an empowerment program for junior high girls. Tatiana often meets up with other Metro Catholic grads and she says they think of Metro Catholic as home and never tire of recalling the great memories. The Perez Family tradition at Metro Catholic also includes Edwin who is now at Holy Name High School and Araceli, now in Gr. 5. |

Kyle Deforrest (2005) remembers, “I always loved music and art classes and really appreciated the music in our prayer celebrations.” Kyle first performed at Metro Catholic as a fourth grader, appearing as Tevye, singing, "If I Were a Rich Man." Kyle’s nervousness about performing in front of audiences is now a thing of the past, as he is a professional songwriter and singer. His dream is to take his music to the biggest stage possible, but in the meantime, “I enjoy playing on small stages where I can see my audience and interact with them.” Two experiences—seeing a film about Woodstock, and his acquaintance with many diverse friends at Metro Catholic, have created in Kyle a love of all kinds of music: folk, rock, Latin rock, rap, country and blues. He is proficient in classical guitar. Kyle advises students at Metro Catholic to stay open, “Dreams can change. It is important to try many different things; don’t give up.” Kyle recently spent a day with our Friday music classes & shared with them |
