Tell us about the teacher, coach or administrator who made a difference in your life:
If you saw Mr. Straessle at any Catholic High event, you would never assume he is the head of school. He is never above anyone else, showing that he serves and works for people, putting others before himself. With a school of 700 boys, he is the figure every Catholic High boy strives to be.
