Student Spotlights – March 2026

Months ago, Fairhope kindergarteners of Fairhope East and Fairhope West dreamed up their “felt monsters.” Last month, Fairhope High School FACS students stitched those dreams into reality. Watching the creators meet their creations was so sweet. There was “sew” much pride, creativity, and heart in one room. Go Pirates!!

Nature Connect School students focused on the letter P and practiced number identification through games and art activities. They also reviewed patterns and spent time creating their own. The cold didn’t slow the Nature Connect School students down one bit. They stayed busy exploring and playing outdoors!

Spanish Fort Elementary School recently held their annual Spelling Bee. We are incredibly proud of each and every student who worked so hard to make it to the stage by winning his/her classroom competition!
The overall first place winner, who will go on to participate in the county competition, is Kauri Buxton. Natalie Chen was our runner up. Way to go Toros!

Huge congratulations to Daphne East Elementary School’s Chaz McGhee on being named Alabama Science Teacher of the Year!
This well-deserved honor reflects your passion for science, dedication to students, and the countless lives you impact every day in the classroom. Alabama is lucky to have an educator who inspires curiosity, critical thinking, and a love of learning at such a high level.

St. Michael Catholic High School is proud to announce that senior Samantha Grace Kokoszka has accepted a Fully Qualified Appointment to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. This prestigious achievement follows the rare distinction of receiving appointments to two of the nation’s elite service academies, as she was also offered a Fully Qualified Appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Following a rigorous application and nomination process, Congressman Barry Moore personally called Samantha to congratulate her on her achievements and inform her of the appointments. After careful consideration of both offers, Kokoszka officially declined the appointment to West Point to join the Navy’s Class of 2030.
A Fully Qualified Appointment is the culmination of a process that requires meeting stringent academic, physical, and medical standards, as well as securing a formal nomination. Receiving offers from both the Army and the Navy is a distinction reserved for only a handful of candidates nationwide each year.
“We are incredibly proud of Samantha Grace for this monumental achievement,” said Dr. Andrea Williamson, Principal of St. Michael Catholic High School. “Receiving appointments to both West Point and Annapolis is a clear reflection of her exceptional character, academic rigor, and leadership. Samantha embodies the very best of our Cardinal values, and while she had two incredible paths before her, we are thrilled to see her choose to serve our country at the Naval Academy. She is a true trailblazer for our school community.”
At St. Michael, Kokoszka has been a standout student-athlete and leader, recently being named the Bryant-Jordan Region 1 Class 4A Scholar-Athlete winner. Her commitment to the Naval Academy continues a tradition of excellence at St. Michael, as students continue to be recognized on the national stage for their service and academic prowess.

Some of our Daphne Elementary School Third-Grade students, our Student Lighthouse Team, and our Peer Helpers took a field trip to Eastern Shore Rehabilitation & Health Center for a Mardi Gras parade with the residents!
They were so glad to bring smiles, music, and cheer to the community!

Our Fairhope Elementary School Kindergarten students are 100 days smarter!

St. Michael Catholic High School is proud to announce that two of its outstanding seniors have been named Region 1 Class 4A winners in the prestigious Bryant-Jordan Student-Athlete Program, marking a significant milestone in the school’s history.
Samantha Grace Kokoszka has been named the Region 1 Class 4A Scholar-Athlete winner, honoring her excellence in both academics and athletics. Nick Thomas Russo has been named the Region 1 Class 4A Achievement winner, recognizing his ability to overcome obstacles while excelling in athletic endeavors.
This is the third year in a row a St. Michael student has won the Achievement category, but this marks the first time in school history that Cardinals have swept both the Achievement and Scholar-Athlete Region 1 awards simultaneously.
“We are incredibly proud of Samantha and Nick,” said Dr. Andrea Williamson, Principal of St. Michael Catholic High School. “These awards confirm what we already knew—that they are exemplary students and athletes who exhibit our Cardinal Values in the classroom, in athletic competitions, and in our community. To have winners in both categories is a testament to the character and drive of our student body.”
Both students will now advance to the next stage of the competition. Their files will be reviewed by a selection committee to determine the overall winner in the Class 4A state classification.
The Bryant-Jordan Student-Athlete Program was created in 1986 by the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and the Alabama High School Athletic Association to recognize exceptional student-athletes across the state.
St. Michael Catholic High School is a college preparatory high school serving families throughout Baldwin County. Rooted in faith and excellence, St. Michael provides an education where formation meets preparation, and students are truly Formed to Fly.

We would like to thank everyone that wore red!

Bayside Academy is proud to announce that Baldwin EMC has selected junior Farrah Lane as one of four students from Baldwin County chosen for the Youth Tour.
According to Baldwin EMC, “The Youth Tour is sponsored nationally by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association and statewide by the Alabama Rural Electric Association. Each year, almost 2,000 outstanding high school students from across the nation visit their state and nation’s Capitols to develop leadership skills, to learn more about U.S. history and government, and to gain a personal understanding of their role as a citizen.”
As a Youth Tour winner, Farrah was awarded a $750 college scholarship, a trip to Montgomery in March, and a trip to Washington, D.C., in June. Additionally, she listed Upper School Math and Science Teacher Joe Swagart as a teacher who has made a significant impact on her during her high school career.

To celebrate the success of our Scripture Memory Challenge, Ordo Amoris Classical Academy students delighted in dressing up as their favorite book characters. From beloved classics to modern favorites, the costumes reflected a love of stories that shape the imagination and reinforce virtue. The day was filled with joy, creativity, and gratitude as students celebrated the fruit of hiding God’s Word in their hearts—reminding us that formation of the soul and the imagination go hand in hand.

Ordo Amoris Classical Academy biology students recently explored the fascinating world of bacteria, yeast, and living cultures through a hands-on sourdough starter experiment. By observing fermentation in real time, students were able to connect abstract textbook concepts to tangible, observable processes—watching life multiply, gases form, and dough transform. This experiential approach deepened their understanding of microbiology while also cultivating patience, curiosity, and careful observation, hallmarks of a classical science education.

Bay Minette Elementary School is so proud! These students scored a 4 on their ACAP test! We are so happy to have them represent BMES.

Bayside Academy is proud to announce that Coach Joe Swagart has been named the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) 2024–2025 Alabama Coach of the Year for the sport of Girls’ Indoor Track & Field.
Last year, Bayside won its first AHSAA Indoor Track & Field State Championship team title.

Seniors Madeline Dudley and Annie Midyett finished second in the high jump and 800-meter run, respectively. Senior Kate Huey and junior Shelby Fargason finished third in the 60-meter hurdles and 3200-meter run, respectively.

Upon notification of his recognition as Coach of the Year, Coach Swagart said, “Over my 12 years at Bayside Academy, we’ve had many special groups who have achieved the pinnacle of sports, a state championship. To win the 4A/5A AHSAA State Championship last year, which made this recognition possible, is a result of athletes and coaches who have given their best and the excellence they show everyday as we pursue being our best. Most importantly, I am proud of the type of people our athletes have become and the friendships/community they’ve developed over the years.”
Coach Swagart has been a head coach for boys’ and girls’ cross country and track & field programs for nearly 20 years. With eight AHSAA State Championships, 15 AHSAA State Runners-Up, and three AISA State Runners-Up, he helps his teams excel. He has been recognized as the Press-Register Coach of the Year three times and was named the USTFCCCA Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2021.

Latin comes alive at Ordo Amoris Classical Academy! Latin class is consistently one of our grammar school student’s favorite parts of the day. This may be surprising to hear! But our students love the challenge, take joy in the task of language-learning, and thrive in a small classroom with a highly engaged, Christian teacher. Latin class becomes an occasion to enjoy the task of learning, and to glorify God in doing so in a uniquely Christian way.

Ordo Amoris Classical Academy students recently had the joy of watching their classmates, Georgia Watson and Sophie Miller, perform in The Nutcracker with Bay Shore Ballet. Seeing familiar faces on stage brought a special sense of pride and excitement as students celebrated the beauty of classical ballet and the discipline it requires. The experience reinforced the value of the arts in a classical education and offered a meaningful opportunity for our community to support and encourage one another’s gifts, hard work, and creative expression.
