We are pleased to announce that Mr. Colton Ketter will join the Subiaco Academy community this fall as an English instructor and an athletics coach. Mr. Ketter comes to us with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. He has spent the last two years in Catholic Campus Ministry and Faith Formation, and the three years before that as a seminarian for the Diocese of Little Rock at the House of Formation. Mr. Ketter loves sports, especially football and hockey, and he also enjoys collecting and reading comic books. A native of Charleston, Arkansas, Mr. Ketter and his wife, Tarah, are members of Sacred Heart Church in Charleston, and look forward to welcoming their first child in July 2024. They are expecting a son, and plan to name him Stanley, in honor of Blessed Stanley Rother. One thing that Mr. Ketter is looking forward to at Subiaco is "helping students grow closer to Christ in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. "

Even weeks after our graduation ceremony, the message from our commencement speaker, Mr. Jesse Navarro, continues to resonate with us at Subiaco Academy. As a distinguished member of the Tohono O'odham people, one of the Native American tribes of the Sonoran Desert, Mr. Navarro is the Baboquivari District Legislative Council
Representative, and is from the village of Coldfields in the Baboquivari District on the Tohono O’odham Nation.
Mr. Navarro relayed to the graduates the message that it is important to always remember who you are and where you come from. That by sharing our unique God-given gifts and abilities, we can become true leaders. According to one of his most influential Native American mentors, a true leader is identified by someone who can "take the arrows in the back and the bullets in the front." He reminded the graduates that when the path to leadership is difficult, it is important to stay humble and pray for those who may not be supportive. His address concluded with a song that he presented in his native O'odham language. Demonstrating honorably that he remembers who he is and where he comes from.
We are especially proud this year of two of our 2024 graduates from the same Native American heritage and tribal lands in Arizona as our commencement speaker. Delo Folson and Johnny Miguel are the first of the Tohono O'odham Nation to graduate from Subiaco Academy.
During his time here at the academy, in addition to other achievements, Delo excelled as a member of the Jazz Ensemble, standing out as an exceptional drummer in our band that travels and performs live in locations such as Memphis Beale Street and the San Antonio Riverwalk. Johnny also thrived in the Subiaco environment in many ways, earning the Medal at graduation for Excellence in Application to Studies, and also receiving the esteemed Wardlaw scholarship of $10,000 to go towards the pursuits of a higher education.
Our Subiaco community looks forward to the other future graduates from the Tohono O'odham Nation, and are grateful to Mr. Navarro for sharing his words of wisdom and guidance.
