During their years here, Mrs. Testa served on the school board. The tradition continues with her granddaughter, Maria, now a First Grader! She taught here for many years before becoming Principal in 2000. “Maria Testa’s quiet dedication to Saint Stephen School and its students provides an exceptional model for other administrators.”, says Dr. Hoyt. ” She continually strives to provide students with an excellent educational experience in an environment rich with Catholic identity and Gospel values. Mr. Hoyt will officially present Mrs. Testa with the 2014-2015 Archdiocesan Distinguished Administrator Award in January during Catholic Schools Month.
