St. Lawrence | Seton class of 2018 | Mount St. Joseph Graduate
Brooke Rouse’s greatest achievement, the one she is most proud of so far in her life, is her graduation from Mt. St. Joseph University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies.
When Brooke reflects on her life thus far, she noted that her years of Catholic education taught her the value of learning and to always have hope, “I feel moved to share just how grateful I am for not only my selfless and dedicated teachers throughout my Catholic education, but also for CISE, who awarded me a scholarship to attend Seton High School. The generosity of so many equipped me with tools to work hard and paved the way for me to succeed.”
In college, Brook was offered her first internship at CISE. “I am so grateful they took a chance on a nervous college freshman and offered me a supportive environment that kickstarted me into the professional world. After college, I went all over the place – from D.C. to Orlando, but what pushed me through was the faith I learned from three Catholic schools on the West Side of Cincinnati (St. Lawrence, Seton, and MSJ) and brought me right back home. So many people believed in me,” Brooke noted.
Brooke is not only one of our proud alums but is also a new donor to the CISE-SGO. When asked why she donated, she said, “Each of us has the opportunity to rewrite futures. How cool is that?”
