The Sisters at the Monastery annually recognize women who have served in the roles of messenger, defender, and companion with “Angels of Grace” awards at its awards luncheon. Striby is in her 18th year of teaching English and AP Psychology at Roncalli. Striby says that teaching is more than a vocation or career and that it gives meaning to her life. “It is an honor and a blessing to witness the students develop their gifts and talents and become the people God created them to be,” says Striby. Roncalli principal Kevin Banich praised Striby as having “a servant’s heart and a passion for educating kids that is second to none.”
