Hear it from a Saint

"As a first-generation Hispanic student from a Catholic background, Saint Martin’s has given me a community that values the person that I am. Being able to be in smaller classes I have made connections that will stay with me throughout life. Saint Martin’s makes it so that I am able to embrace my cultural background by hosting events that highlight all the traditions of my heritage. When it comes to my Catholic background, Saint Martin’s holds the values of respect, hospitality and faith close to the school's heart. Being here has changed me, has deepened my faith, and has given me my second family." - Amy Montenegro '25, MBA '27
