Quote from teacher: "Adam exhibits all of the virtues we hope our students have," said Michael J. Wielgopolski, theology department chairman. "He is patient, gentle, humble, and optimistic. This past summer he participated in two leadership and service programs offered by our school. I am sure he will approach a career where he can direct his keen mind and generous heart to the service of others."
