Comments from Colleague Mike Meyer:

Carol has an enthusiasm for life that permeates all that she does.  It is not uncommon to hear Carol lead a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday" (by the way, it has to be in 4 part harmony) to a fellow faculty member in the lunch room.  Carol has been seen falling on the floor in the middle of the guidance center and shake with disbelief when a senior has finally turned in a college application or literally scream in ecstasy when a student notifies her that he's won a scholarship.   

Carol's concern for students is well known throughout St. Xavier high school.  She will spend as much time with a student as he wants working on college essays, study skills, or mental health issues.  Carol has a never ending enthusiasm for helping students be successful.

Carol has a drive to impact not just students, but also the parents.  Over the past several years, Carol has been the moderator of the school's Parent Network.  She organizes meetings, holds panel discussions, brings in speakers, and has even "convinced" students to serve as panelists to talk to parents about what is really going on in their lives.  Carol does this, in an effort to help parents raise their sons successfully.
