Anna Marie West
2023 SCCCW Reverend William Pentis Scholarship Winner









 

​

A recent graduate from St. Anne Catholic School as the valedictorian of the class of 2023 will be attending Christendom College in Front Royal Virginia this fall. 

In high school, Anna Marie was involved in volleyball all four years and was team captain this past season. Also working within the activities committee, she became president to lead the organization and preparations needed to host our school’s homecoming, spirit week, and prom. Anna Marie was elected president of the National Honors Society where we planned service projects and supported the Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen and the Second Chance Thrift Store. Her high school experience allowed her to grow in leadership and organization and is excited to use these experiences in the future. 

During these past four years, she has been heavily involved in the St. Philip Neri Youth Group where she attended many life nights and retreats. Youth group has shaped her faith and given her many true holy friendships. Being immersed in a strong catholic community also helped her know that she wanted to have a similar experience in her college years. 

Anna Marie hopes to take all that she has learned from my family, friends, and catholic community to help her achieve her goals and mission to keep Christ at the center of her life. While at Christendom Anna Marie plans to study philosophy and look forward to being engaged in a vibrant Catholic community filled with faith and friends.
