Mr. Les Levy
Class of 2017 Valedictorian
Broussard was also honored by Stanford University for her influence over Levy, particularly in his work with student ambassadors.
“I am humble and very honored to have Les nominate me for this recognition from Stanford. I have been so blessed to have the privilege of working with outstanding young men such as Les and the Brother Martin Student Ambassadors. In my ministry at Brother Martin I have seen young boys emerge, and develop into true leaders and fine young men under the Charism of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart and lay partners in mission. I am so thankful each day to be a part of this Charism.”
Broussard was a 2012 recipient of the Brother More Schaefer Award and has been a member of the Crusader faculty for almost twenty years. Currently, she is the Assistant Principal for Academics, but has also taught math and science to Crusaders. She also served as Director of Staff Development and moderator of Key Club and Student Ambassadors.
Congratulations, Ms. Broussard!
