Padua Graduates
MyTrack® students also had the opportunity to meet with several recent Padua graduates who are currently in college. It was interesting to hear how they made their decisions about where and what to study. We were grateful that so many of our young alumni gave back their time and offered advice to our MyTrack students.

MyTrack Engineering
MyTrack Engineering students had the pleasure of learning about the variety of careers and specialties in Engineering from Brian Davis, Associate Dean of the Washkewicz College of Engineering at Cleveland State University. They also met with Mechanical Engineer Michael Sidoti ’80 of the Hellan Strainer Company and Chemical Engineer Amanda Jancewicz ’15 of The Lubrizol Corporation. In the spring, students learned about Civil Engineering with Nick Iafigliola, President of Schirmer Construction LLC. MyTrack Engineering Moderator Deacon Matt Harley is making plans for some fun, hands-on Engineering Club activities for the fall.
MyTrack Law
This was the inaugural year for MyTrack Law. MyTrack Moderator Ms. Lora Winger was excited to teach Law 1 and Law 2 courses during the 2020-2021 school year. She is looking forward to bring back the Mock Trial program in the fall. MyTrack Law career speakers included Assistant Prosecutor of Cuyahoga County Anna (Woods) Herceg ’03, Brunswick Mayor Ron Falconi ’87 and U.S. Court of Appeals Judicial Law Clerk Isabelle Hanna ’13.
MyTrack Studio Art
Our MyTrack Studio Art students enjoyed learning about preparing for careers in Graphic Design from Brittney Haag, a graphic designer at Old Navy in San Francisco. They also heard from NASA Graphic Designer and Communications Specialist Aimee Crane. She grows lavender and showed students how to make scented candles after school.
