Dr. Kelly Escobar from Columbia University met recently with Mrs. Rogone and Mrs. Herrera to establish the partnership between our school and Columbia University. 

St. Michael’s Catholic Academy Principal Mrs. Rogone and several faculty members are spending the first week of summer vacation attending the 2019 Two Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools (TWIN-CS) Summer Academy in Boston. There they will participate in 5 days of workshops, professional development, presentations and other activities.
