Aloha,
As we commemorate the 60th jubilee anniversary of our cherished school, my heart swells with gratitude and joy. Over the years, we've embraced many changes: welcoming new faces, evolving family support, and integrating advances in technology. Yet, through it all, the timeless guidance of Our Lady of Good Counsel has remained steadfast, continually leading us to her Son, our Lord Jesus.
Throughout the past year, we have drawn strength from St. John, our model saint, who embraced Mary as his mother at Jesus’ command (John 19:26-27). His deep reverence for Mary and his care for her inspire us to embrace our own callings with love and dedication. We also remember Our Lady’s wise counsel, “Do whatever He tells you” (John 2:5), guiding our school community forward.
In May 2025, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Miss Amano, who is retiring after 34 years of devoted service to our school. Miss Amano has touched the hearts of countless students, including myself, with her nurturing guidance, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to education. Her passion for teaching and gentle encouragement have inspired us all to reach our fullest potential, both in and out of the classroom. Miss Amano’s kindness and professionalism have left an indelible mark on our hearts. As she embarks on this new chapter, we wish her all the joy and peace she deserves. We are eternally grateful for her example and the countless ways she has shaped our school into the loving community we cherish today.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the many upgrades planned for our classrooms and the enhancement of our curriculum, which is designed to support critical thinking and the application of life skills through our Discipline With Purpose program. These improvements reaffirm our commitment to providing a holistic education that equips our students with the tools they need to thrive in a complex world.
Reflecting on this extraordinary year, I am especially grateful for all our families who prioritize our students’ eternal journey above all else. It is a true joy and privilege to work alongside you on such a meaningful mission, guiding our children toward lasting faith and virtue. I feel immensely blessed to do what I do each day, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to Father Santhosh, our dedicated teachers, and the many supporters who share our mission. Together, we are building a legacy of faith, hope, and love that will endure for generations to
come.
With gratitude for our community and joy for every new day ahead,
Mrs. Chantelle Luarca
