Sabre Singers earn Superior Rating
This past weekend, St. Brendan High’s advanced choir, the Sabre Singers, had the opportunity to compete at a national level in the annual Walt Disney World music competition, Festival Disney. Festival Disney is a music festival and competition for vocal/choral ensembles as well as orchestras, instrumental ensembles, and marching/auxiliary bands from all around the country. The Sabre Singers achieved a Superior Rating, Best in Class award (1st place winner within the Treble Chorus category), and the Silver Award (2nd place winner at the national level). Our very own Elaine Johnston (Junior) also won Best Vocal Solo Performance for her outstanding performance in Mozart’s Laudate Dominum. The choir performed musical works that are among the most difficult pieces performed by a high school choir in South Florida, including Holst’s Ave Maria, and Faure’s Cantique de Jean Racine.
Congratulations to the Sabre Singers and Mr. Cuza.
St. Brendan HS takes home a TOP award
Senior, Michael Santana, received the “Best Delegate” award for his crisis committee from Boston University’s Model United Nations Conference, BosMUN. Michael’s duties were to research a proposed crisis for Colombia and present a solution in a simulated United Nations Security Council meeting. Michael earned the “Best Delegate” award in one of the advance committees categorizing him as one of the finest, unsurpassed delegates from over a thousand students at the conference.
The St. Brendan family congratulates Michael for his outstanding work.
2011 Junior Orange Bowl Photography Competition Winner
Sofia Mirandes, a Sophomore Photography Club Staffer at Saint Brendan High School, has won first place amidst all Miami-Dade County Public, Private, and Magnet schools at the 2011 Junior Orange Bowl Photography Competition, in the Everglades category. Her winning photo captures the haunting beauty of the Everglades, with a single, desolate tree set amidst the darkened river of grass, juxtaposed against the glow of the setting sun. The simple yet compelling style is typical of the 15-year-old artist whose interest in photography was actually born with a photo taken on, of all things, an iPhone, during a trip to San Francisco, California in 2009. That time, it was an indescript, old, brick building she simply spotted and photographed, out the window of her car, at an angle, but her talents transformed it into a fascinating landscape with artfully cracked bricks and increasingly smaller windows seemingly set aglow by the reflection of shades of red. Sofia still favors landscape images and plans to pursue a career that allows her to incorporate her twin loves of art and architecture.
Congratulations on your work! The St. Brendan High School family is very proud of you.

Silver Knight Winner
Congratulations to Nicole Paez our Silver Knight recipient in Mathematics.
At the age of seven Nicole could not speak, and doctors predicted she would not advance past the fifth grade. She proved them wrong, A member of our Champagnat Program, Nicole was mainstreamed in mathematics, and she did this while volunteering hundreds of hours helping others. She founded the nonprofit organization, Angels Touch, and launched a number of projects including: raising $8,000 to help a Uruguayan boy get a kidney transplant, collecting supplies for hurricane victims in Haiti, food for twenty-seven families at Thanksgiving, and rounding up toys for the Ronald McDonald House. Her projects are endless, her courage and determination is unwavering.
