Classical education began for Miss Sergeant in the 7th grade. Throughout that first day in the Latin, Humanities, and Science classrooms, a spark was lit for education. Her mind was captivated by the beauty of literature, the complexities of the natural world, and the vastness of a whole new language. With excellent teachers and curriculum, this spark was fanned into a flame and by ninth grade, she was tutoring Latin for lower grades and by junior year, functioning as a teacher’s assistant in the pre-school, 1st grade, and 3rd grade classrooms.
Committing to Wyoming Catholic College (WCC) in the Spring of her Senior year, Miss Sergeant decided to explore the liberal arts as well as God’s first book, the outdoors. During her time at Wyoming Catholic College, she spent a total of 134 nights in the backcountry engaging in adventures like rock climbing, canyoneering, backpacking, packrafting, and much more. Having completed WCC’s leader course and COR Expedition’s professional instructor Course, she had the honor of professionally instructing WCC’s freshman expedition. This is a three week long backpacking trip in which freshmen are taught to thrive amongst harsh realities of Wyoming’s Wind River Range.
Miss Sergeant graduated from WCC Magna Cum Laude with a double major in Humanities and Theology and a double minor in Philosophy and Math. The work she is most proud of during her time at WCC is her Senior Thesis: The Edenic Gaze Restored: Christ’s Ministry to Woman in the Gospel of John. Miss Sergeant is thrilled to share with the students of Coeur du Christ the same joy in learning she discovered in the 7th grade and the gracious and loving God who has pursued Miss Sergeant her whole life.
Fun facts: Miss Sergeant toured France and Spain with a music ensemble during high school playing the saxophone. During this trip she had the opportunity to meet the then-current American Ambassador to France and play alongside the United States Marine Jazz Band.
Miss Sergeant’s favorite activity with her family is cooking and she will frequently spend weekends making homemade Polish sausage, finding the perfect recipe for homestyle potatoes, or crafting homemade cherry wine.
