Ms. Mac is the most empowering woman we have ever met. She encourages us every day to fight for what we want out of life and helps us figure out exactly what we need to do to achieve our goals. She meets with every single student individually each semester to go over our class schedules and make sure that they are exactly suited to our needs. She cares deeply about all of the students at St. Mary's and gets to know us so that she can help us through the difficult high school process and in getting into colleges that are right for us as individuals. She understands that every girl is unique and gives her 100% effort every day to help us make goals based on who we are as people and to strive for those goals. Ms. Mac knows us well, there is no doubt, but there is also no doubt that this is an impressive and amazingly helpful fact. She has devoted her life to making St. Mary's girls special. The standards set for us are high and we are guided in reaching for them throughout our time at the school and after. Not only when we are at school, but also when we are in other situations, we strive to uphold the character of a ""St. Mary's girl"" because that standard is the model that many of us dream to be able to reach one day. Ms. Mac is a perfect demonstration of what it is to uphold the Loretto values of faith, community, justice, and respect as an adult, and she is a true ""St. Mary's girl"". She is our role model and we respect her immensely. \r
