🐾 Alumni Spotlight: Celeste Coajou, Class of 2007! 💚💙
From the halls of SJRCS to the magic of Disney, Celeste is proof that big dreams can take you amazing places!
After graduating from Mount de Sales Academy in 2011, Celeste earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing with a minor in Communications from Mount St. Mary’s University in 2015. Today, she lives in Florida and has been working for The Walt Disney Company for five years, currently with Disney Photo Imaging (PhotoPass) at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! ✨
Celeste has stayed connected to her SJRCS roots over the years, coaching cheerleading alongside her mom at SJRCS and St. John’s Catholic Prep. She also runs her own photography side business, specializing in dance photography and senior portraits.
Some of her favorite SJRCS memories include a 5th grade field trip to Jamestown and the lasting impact of teachers Mrs. Frazier and Mrs. Mallak, who helped shape her love of music, organization, and learning. The time management, critical thinking, and organizational skills she developed at SJRCS continue to serve her today.
Her advice to current students? “Keep going and never give up!” Celeste shares that determination and confidence can help you achieve your goals, even when the journey takes a little longer.
We’re so proud of Celeste for pursuing her dreams, continuing to grow in her career, and reminding our students that their possibilities are limitless! 🌟
