What does it look like when a Catholic school is truly focused on the whole child?

On this episode of The Krista Escamilla Show, I’m joined by Tracy Owens, Principal of St. Ann’s School in Midland, Texas, for a conversation about education, community, and the goal she has for every child who walks through the doors of St. Ann’s.

Tracy shares her perspective on creating an environment where students can grow academically, personally, and in their relationships with others. We also talk about what makes the St. Ann’s community special and the importance of families being involved in the school experience.

Plus, we talk about the upcoming St. Ann’s Family Fair, a fun opportunity for students, families, and the Midland community to come together.

If you’re a parent, educator, St. Ann’s family, or simply someone who cares about the future of Midland’s children, you’ll enjoy this conversation!
