Firstenburg serves on the boards of directors of the Council for the Homeless, Community Housing Resource Center and Leadership Clark County.

Interest high in Seton
Catholic High Schoo
l

When St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic High School hosted an open house to preview the school which will open this fall over 350 people attended the event at 811 NE 112th Avenue in Vancouver. 

“We were very pleased with the number of parents, students and friends of Seton Catholic who attended our Open House,” said the school’s founding president and principal, Ed Little. Little, who served as a principal in the Vancouver School District for 24 years before accepting the position of president/principal at Seton Catholic, said he could sense the excitement of people as they walked through the building. 

“Seton Catholic will be the first Catholic high school in Southwest Washington in more than 40 years,” Little said.  “It’s exciting for parents and students to have a Catholic high school in Southwest Washington for them to attend, rather than having to drive to Portland.”

To help with start-up and annual operating costs for the next three years, the school has embarked on a fundraising campaign appropriately titled Open Wide the Doors. "We are giving our supporters and the community an opportunity to help us build upon our successes as we open this school,” said Andrew Geisler, Seton Catholic's Development Director.

Campaign chairs are Steve and Jo Marie Hansen of Vancouver and Ron and Terry Prill of Camas. Emma Schmid of Washougal and Bishop Joseph Tyson, Auxiliary Bishop for the Seattle Archdiocese, serve as campaign honorary chairmen. The campaign goal is $2.5 million over three years and has already exceeded $500,000.

From the Washington School Public Relations Association Nuzzo and Sara Neal received a Perfect Score Award of Excellence for the new district website.
