Meet Michele Sweetmon; an English teacher and campus minister at Gross Catholic High School as well as a 2024 Educator of the Year. In her 23 years at Gross Catholic, Michele’s commitment to her students and faith is evident in her campus ministry room, which is always filled with laughter, joy, and even homemade cookies and brownies. She creates a warm and welcoming space for students to come for guidance, support, and development. Her “ministry of presence” makes her a reliable companion for students as they navigate the twists and turns of high school, whether it be in the classroom, in the chapel, or simply just on one of the many couches that line the walls of her campus ministry room. Please join us in congratulating Michele for her outstanding service!
About Gross Catholic High School
Gross Catholic, a co-educational, college preparatory high school, began its proud heritage of academic excellence rooted in the Marianist tradition in 1968. We consider ourselves one of the best Catholic schools in Omaha, Bellevue, and Papillion. The school motto Dux Esto (“Be a Leader”) is at the core of its extraordinary mission, innovative spirit, and fundamental values. The school offers a challenging environment and outstanding quality of life, both in academics and co-curricular activities, with a strong focus on STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) education. The spirit of Christian service and giving back is part of everything the school does. Gross Catholic’s top-tier status is reflected in its talented faculty, staff, and coaches who take great pride in seeing virtually every graduate head to college, often to the most prestigious domestic and international universities and service academies. Together with families and alumni, Gross Catholic forges relationships for a lifetime, helping to ready the next generation to be exemplary, principled leaders of the world.
