Congratulations to Tony Flor ’17 on being named the Seattle Times’ Male Athlete of the Year! Tony was the Metro League defensive MVP in football and as a captain helped to lead the Irish to the State Championship game. He was also an All-American playing defenseman in lacrosse. Tony helped build the lacrosse program as a freshman, and in just its fourth year O’Dea made the State Championship game. His accomplishments both in and out of the classroom have been truly remarkable.

Congratulations to our very own, Dr. Jeanne Eulberg, who was awarded the Sister Shawn Marie Barry Distinguished Service to Youth Award at the annual PNACAC (Pacific Northwest Association for College Admission Counseling) Conference in Boise. Dr. Eulberg received this award in front of roughly 350 college counseling/admission colleagues from all over the country. 

This award is named for the St. Mary’s Academy of Portland’s former college counselor who lost her battle with cancer in 1995. Recipients of the award must have a minimum of ten years of high school or college teaching and/or counseling experience with at least three years in their current position. They must be currently engaged in counseling and be recognized as “those who have given outstanding and faithful service to youth.”

The O’Dea community is grateful for all of Dr. Eulberg’s hard work and helping prepare our young men for college and beyond!
