We are truly blessed with the best people in our building! Each year, members of the Bishop Miege faculty and staff vote to honor colleagues who exemplify the St. Angela Merici Core Values, rooted in the Ursuline tradition that has guided our community since 1958. Especially meaningful, four of this year’s winners are alumni, carrying out our motto of Nova et Vetera — bringing the best of the new and the old into our Miege community.
