Music that Describes Denise


Denise Ardoin was nominated by a parent of student, MaryGrace Anasco.

"Called 'Mrs. A' by her students, Ms. Ardoin has been teaching for 28 years at Saint Paul Catholic Classical School. She earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. Mrs. A is a product of a complete Catholic education, starting in kindergarten. Her children, Sarah, Allie, and Jonathan, all attended Saint Paul from kindergarten through eighth grade. Her daughters continued to Ursuline Academy and Texas A&M, and her son recently graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School and will attend Texas A&M," said Anasco.

"Mrs. A loves that many teachers who taught her children are still teaching at Saint Paul. She also loves it when her former students tell her they applied the lessons they learned in her classes in high school, college, and life. Mrs. A teaches sixth to eighth-grade English. Mrs. A plans to write a book called 'Teach It, Preach It, Reach It.' Her mantra is, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' She embodies an educator who makes an impact not just on her students but everyone she meets. She goes above and beyond. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2023, and Mrs. Ardoin would lead prayer with the entire school for my healing. I will never forget her for doing that. Now I claim total healing," said Anasco.
