“The message is always there at Northwest — that the way you act affects others.” Emma added, “We learned about investing in society. We were always being reminded of what our place in the world could be.”
The Honorable Donna M. Wilkerson-Brillant '83 of the Ansonia-Milford Judicial District returned to her alma mater on May 1 to present a First Amendment lesson to NWC's civics classes as well as share stories about life as a judge.
Groshko began by asking the students, “Do you want to know what I say when people ask me where I went to school?” Goroshko continued, “I don’t answer with the college I attended. I tell them I went to Northwest Catholic.”
