“Seton has helped me to prepare myself for the future, both in college classrooms and outside of them,” said Striebich. “Seton gave me opportunities to learn more about who I am as a person through clubs, sports, classes and other extracurricular activities. I'm excited to use these opportunities in college and beyond, and I’m confident that everything Seton has taught me has prepared me for the future."
