Montgomery Catholic's Newell Attends Alabama Governor's School

Montgomery Catholic senior Chloe Newell attended the Alabama Governor's School over the summer. 

Held from June 18-30, 2017 at Samford University, the conference brought together approximately 90 gifted Alabama High School seniors to learn about various professions and majors and provided a variety of academic, creative and leadership experiences to attendees.

Newell took classes centered on health care at UAB and photography. "It was so great! I learned so much about what I want to do in college, as well as made a lot of new friends."

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School was proud to have Newell represent the Class of 2018 at the 30th Alabama Governor's School Conference.


Founded in 1873, Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School is an integral part of the Catholic Church's mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. As an adult community, we share in the responsibility to prepare students for college and beyond while helping them to grow to become persons of faith, virtue, and wisdom.

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School is proud to announce that Coach Ed Wright has been named the 2017 State of Alabama Girls' High School Track & Field Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

According to the USTFCCCA, "the honor is based upon the performance of Montgomery Catholic's Girls' Track and Field team throughout the 2017 season and is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the student athletes, the coaching staff and the administration of the school".


Montgomery Catholic's Athletic Director Daniel Veres said of Wright, "After 11 years leading the Montgomery Catholic Racing Knights, and with a new Girls State title, this honor is well deserved. Coach Ed Wright will continue to encourage his team to be stronger and faster, and Montgomery Catholic athletes can look forward to continuing success under his leadership."

Coach Wright said, "We had a great year, but it would not have been possible without the dedication of our assistant coaches; Kevin Madden, Coy Hunter and Hollis Johnson and of course the determination of our athletes. They all make my job easy. This is an award for our entire team!"

Congratulations Coach Ed Wright, State of Alabama Girls' High School Track & Field Coach of the Year!
