“I want to express our deepest gratitude for the wonderful four years we have spent at this institution.

“As a parent of two of your students, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the remarkable impact you’ve had on our child and on the entire middle school community. Your dedication to teaching goes beyond the classroom walls. You have a unique ability to ignite a passion for learning in your students, fostering their intellectual curiosity and nurturing their growth every step of the way. Your innovative teaching methods and genuine enthusiasm for your subject have made a lasting impression on our children. Thank you for being an exceptional educator and for making a difference in the lives of so many students, including mine. Your impact extends far beyond the classroom, and I feel privileged to have you as a teacher for our children. With sincere appreciation, Patricia Montiel.”

“I am so thankful for St. Hugh Catholic School and for the community we will forever call home. My daughter started there in 7th grade and just graduated this year. She and our family were immediately welcomed with open arms and it has been such a blessing watching my daughter grow closer to God because of the spirituality St. Hugh nurtured in her. I am so grateful for St. Hugh, its staff and church. God knew this is where my family belonged.”

Dear Ms. Concepcion,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the dedication and commitment you show to your students, including my daughter, since PK3, St. Hugh has been a safe and happy place for her. The opportunity you provided to her to participate in Future City was invaluable, a genuine opportunity for her to discover her true potential, and I appreciate your effort and support. I am truly thankful.
Thank you once again for all that you do, you are true blessing to St. Hugh School. It makes a significant difference in my daughter’s educational journey.

I love supporting my daughter and the school in any way I can. The last year is so important, and I don’t want to miss anything! Washington was so fun, and the kids should be proud of getting to that level of competition!

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the effort, care, and dedication you’ve shown in guiding ALL the students this year.
The accomplishments this past weekend is a true reflection of your unwavering commitment to excellence. Watching ALL the students, especially my son, achieve so much was incredibly rewarding and a testament to the incredible impact you’ve had. Thanks to your encouragement and support, I’ve seen the very best of him shine through together with all Future City gang, and I couldn’t be prouder.

Your passion for teaching and the way you inspire every child to reach their potential is truly remarkable. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in their lives.

It is my passion to be part of this community and to serve as a support system for such amazing leaders guiding our kids. Your guidance reflects such strong commitment and strength, and as my son said, sharing with the class was the best experience. This truly showcases the dedication of our leaders, and I will always stand by such inspiring women. I have loved being part of every milestone and look forward to many more. Please always count on me to serve and support in any way I can.
Always ready for the craziness! Go Raiders and God bless you!

What an incredible experience it has been for both of my kids to be part of Future City. It’s such a valuable opportunity, teaching students about teamwork, organization, research, and deadlines. It also shows how dedicating extra hours to school, both before and after regular hours, can lead to great results. Winning regionals and advancing to nationals really set the bar higher. The support from both parents and teachers in the field of engineering, along with the mentorship made this an invaluable experience.

“Our family couldn’t be happier with the decision to join the Saint Hugh family nine years ago. We have enrolled each of our four children there, and are deeply appreciative of the foundations in Catholic values and educational curriculum that they have received. The staff cares for each of our children as if they are their own and treat their professions as not just a job but as a calling. The families that attend Saint Hugh share our sense of Christian purpose for their lives and are well-respected members of the community. It is a happy place and a good place that serves good people. It both nurtures and pushes my children to realize their God-given potential. They are taught the value of their faith and learn to live it in their daily lives. We are deeply indebted to those who took a chance on our family and will be forever appreciative of the faculty, staff, volunteers, and families that attend this school.”
Gregory and Kasey Zann

“Teaching at St. Hugh Catholic School has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Each day, I have the privilege of doing more than just teaching—I get to guide students in growing their faith, compassion, and character. It’s a true blessing to know that I’m not only shaping future leaders but also helping to mold individuals who will carry Christ’s love and teachings throughout their lives. I’m grateful to be part of a community that nurtures both the hearts and minds of its students; I’m proud to be a Raider!”

Thank you Mrs Fernandez for all that you and your staff do for Alexandra, Gabby, Emily, and Gregory.  We appreciate it more than you know.  It was really hard to have one leaving the nest but graduation and all activities surrounding it was absolutely wonderful. Wishing you and your entire staff a restful and enjoyable summer.  You’ve earned it!

Dear St. Hugh Family,
On behalf of my family, I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for being such an important part of Elisa’s journey at St. Hugh. Her accomplishments are not hers alone—they are also yours. They are the result of her hard work, but even more so, of your unwavering dedication, support, and love. We are profoundly grateful for the decision we made years ago to entrust our children to the care and community of St. Hugh. I see each of you reflected in the young woman my daughter has become. With a heart full of gratitude, thank you for helping us guide her into becoming her best self. Warmest regards,
The Alireza Family

Dear Ms Fernandez & Father Luis
I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate and thank the 8th grade teacher for organizing such an incredible field trip. It was clear that a lot of care and thought went into every detail, and the result was something truly special—an experience filled with joy, learning, and memories the students will carry with them for years to come. What stood out most was the sense of unity it inspired. The kids genuinely wanted to be together every moment, and that speaks volumes about the environment this teacher has cultivated. It’s a beautiful reflection of the values we cherish as a school community, even with all the noise and challenges you have to juggle every day. Please know that you will always have my unconditional support. I’m grateful for the love, dedication, and faith you continue to instill in our children.  To Ms. Concepcion—I’ll go to the end to support you. DALE!  Warm regards,
Patricia Montiel

Dear all,
I want to sincerely thank you for such a wonderful evening and dinner. It was a truly unforgettable moment shared with my son, and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to experience it together. Thank you for making it possible and for creating such a meaningful memory for all of us. Blessings Warm regards,
Erika Botero. 

“Dear Mrs. Fernandez and the rest of the St. Hugh Family, I did this about 4 years ago around this time so I thought it be only appropriate to do the same now and that is to send a short note to ALL OF YOU to simply say “THANK YOU”.  As I said this is the second round but this one is a little more bitter sweet than the first as we close this chapter and start a new one. We have had the good fortune of being a part of the St. Hugh family for over 14 years now and in that time not only did we see our eldest son grow physically, academically and spiritually but also have been fortunate enough to see that with Justin and Jason together with all of their friends. Warmest regards and God Bless! Juan C. Aguiar.”

“Dearest Madame Principal, Wanted to say THANK YOU for making Yesterday so special! What a wonderful evening! I’m starting to get very very sentimental… thank you for making St Hugh such a wonderful place ..  our second home in Miami. I really appreciate and KNOW all the hard work you do… Hope you have a great Friday! Love, Bea.”

“Thank YOU, Mrs. Fernandez! Marcelo will always remember you as his Kindergarten teacher  and as a wonderful part of his first experience at St. Hugh. We are grateful for your kindness, care and love and blessed to have your guidance and leadership. Kindly, The Jimenez family.”

“Queridos Mrs. Fernandez y Father Luis, Espero se encuentren muy bien. Unas breves lineas para agradecerles por tan especial ceremonia de Confirmación. Gracias por hacer cada detalle inolvidable. Además de contar con el Arsobispo y la sorpresa del Padre Federico. Nuestro mas sentido agradecimiento a todo el equipo y la comunidad de St.Hugh que pudo hacer esto posible y por formar a nuestros hijos con tanta dedicación. Abrazos, Los Colimodio.”

“Just a little note to THANK YOU ALL for the beautiful Parent Appreciation dinner. It was such a special night with you and our children! Some kids and parents we hadn’t seen in more than a year… We are definetely very grateful that they were able to enjoy themselves so much. Best regards, Jimena and Luis Montaldo.”

“Dear Mrs Fernández: It will always be a pleasure for us, thank you very much for your dedication and for the opportunity you gave us to belong to the great family of St. Hugh, it has been a blessing for our daughters and also for us as parents to belong to this distinguished educational establishment. We promise not to let you down. God bless you and we wish you health and prosperity for the your blessed life. Best regards. The Ramos Cafaro Family.”

“Thank you so much for hosting such a beautiful breakfast for the volunteers yesterday!!  I absolutely love my necklace and of course the flowers are gorgeous. I already wore my necklace yesterday and my flowers are on my piano. Thank you, thank you, thank you! More than the gift, I appreciate all of you, your friendship and your kindness!  Thank you for continuing to be part of this beautiful community that uplifts me every day . I wish you all a restful and fun summer and will look forward to seeing you back in August. Thank you again for the gifts and the beautiful breakfast!! Blessings, Adriana. ”

As a former teacher, I can appreciate the hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm you put in to your lessons to make them engaging and memorable. You are valued and appreciated. May God bless you abundantly! Warmest regards, Mayoly Rodriguez.”

“Dear Mrs. Fernandez, Kristy and I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to sit on the round table discussion with the consultants this past Friday.  It just so happens, that evening I took Norah to the UM homecoming events on campus.  As we were walking across campus, a couple of girls were walking by and recognized Norah.  They are 8th graders at St. Hugh- Norah and Maria.  They were so kind in saying hi to our Norah and making her feel special on just that chance encounter.  I wanted to recognize them and the culture of welcomeness and inclusiveness you have created at St. Hugh.  It starts with the 8th graders who all serve as student leaders, and the supportive atmosphere they create for the younger students.  It really made Norah’s evening. Thank you, Drew Tilson.”

“I wanted to thank you for all the trophies to Alejandro last night, it’s hard to believe that from that kindergarten kid that use to hide behind the trees because he didn’t want to do PE,  he has become on 8th grade the athlete of the year, a, thank you for all your support during Alejandro’s 10 years in St Hugh, it’s hard to leave, a big part of our hearts will always be in St Hugh. Alejandro is becoming and incredible young man with many values and a huge heart, the many stories that parents tell me on how Alejandro has done for their kids are incredible, even when I pick him up every day from the school, he never leaves without saying goodbye to the entrance security,  and for this wonderful education that you have giving him I also wanted to tell you “Thank you” you all have been an important part on his life on this. One more time thank you!!!!”
Alexandra Escudero

“I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to you. Miles’ grandfather attended the Mass and presentation this morning and he let me know what an amazing job you did at recognizing father figures and making those without fathers feel included on this day. We do not expect the world to adapt to our circumstances and believe in facing our reality head on, however today after watching the presentation live streaming on Instagram I was in tears. Only after a phone call from my mother telling me what my Dad said- how inclusive you were in your words- did i stop crying. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I thank God every day Miles is at St. Hugh and please know you are an incredible leader and educator with a faculty and staff to match. Mrs. Perez and Mrs. Romeu communicated with me about this event weeks ago and have been so understanding and considerate. We are so blessed and grateful. Thank you so very much for all you do.  Thank You, Liza McClung”

“Dear Mrs. Fernández, We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and our wonderful teachers Mrs. Gómez, Mrs. Fuentes and Mrs. Zas. Third grade has been an unforgettable year and we are very grateful for everything that you all do for our Phillip. Thank you for helping learn and grow, for all your patience, and for always highlighting his talents. We have seen him learn so much this year, and we just want you to know how grateful we are. We will miss this amazing group of teachers, but also look forward to fourth grade.”
Wishing you a wonderful summer! Maggie and Joe Tuckey

It was a great experience for all of us and St. Hugh definitely played a role in shaping the young man and woman that they have become. St. Hugh will always be in our hearts.  Take care and thanks again for everything!”
Best Regards, John H. Oestreicher

“Dear all, Just want to THANK YOU for a wonderful evening. All the work and effort that you put into the parent appreciation night was beautiful and very well organized. 8th grade students and parents had an amazing time. Connor’s has bittersweet feelings about leaving St Hugh but he also looks forward for his next chapter in his life at Belen. Thank you for all you do everyday for the students and particularly for both of my boys Connor & Max. Have a great weekend, Trixia.”

“Dear Mrs. Fernandez & Fr. Luis: Thank you! Thank you for all these years of a wonderful education that has molded Mateo into the young man he is today.  Because of you, he has been instilled with a strong moral compass, strong sense of faith, and the best academic foundation. Thank you for always pushing him to do his best and challenging his horizons.  The additional effort the school expended in support of the Dual Enrollment Algebra course last year and the Dual Enrollment Geometry course this year were unbelievable.  We know it was a strain for the school, but because of you he’s set up for success next year at Columbus.”

With much love and gratitude, Alex & Tica Silva.
