"The education at
Our Lady of the Valley was outstanding, and that was
particularly evident when I discovered that I was well-prepared
for high school. Of even greater value than the education in
the usual subjects was the education in values, virtues, and
character. I think that this sort of education is priceless and
rare, and I applaud my former teachers - whom I remember to this
day - for instilling in me those virtues that make it possible
for me to lead a good life. Whenever I run into classmates from
OLOV, I know that even if they're going through rough patches in
their lives, they are going to lead lives of hard work,
generosity, and responsibility. That sort of education is not
available at every school, and that is why I am grateful for
graduating from OLOV."

"As a product of and a firm believer in
Catholic education, I have benefited from the mission of
providing knowledge with character. My years at Our Lady of the
Valley (now Our Lady of the Angels) provided me with a strong
educational background that prepared me well for the transition
to high school, a deep routed faith that has influenced my life
of service in the medical profession, and a sense of discipline
that serves me well on all
walks of life."
