Top Students In Navajo Academy Visit the Priory
Father Dean Leh (lower right), former director of cam- pus ministry at the Priory, rewarded some of his most successful students at his current ministry with a trip to the Priory and sites of interest in the Bay Area. The students are members of a special talent-building acad- emy for Navajo youth, of which Father Dean is academy principal, at Fort Wingate, NM. Diego Avalos, class of 2000 (top) accompanied the group on a day-long field trip to San Francisco. Stanford University students who are part of a Native American empowerment program spent the day with Father Dean’s students (photo at left) and encouraged them to pursue a Stanford education, also, he said.
Rosalie Hewlett Is Honored
Rosalie Hewlett, a founding patron of the Peninsula Bridge Program is flanked by student speakers at a dinner honoring her for her support. The Priory was one of the founding schools (after Sacred Heart) and is still very active in the program. The Priory brings eighth grade students of promise from less advan- taged campuses for a summer of fun and learning, with the goal of helping them qualify for college- track math in ninth grade. Many alumni will re- member another reason to honor William (deceased) and Rosemary Hewlett—they provided the support for the first comprehensive high-tech installation on the Priory campus some 10 years ago.
