Christmas Gathering/Alumnus
of the Year Miguel Sanchez, ’97
On Monday, December 11, 2017, our alumni and alumni
parent community and many of our faculty and staff gathered
to celebrate the Christmas Season with each other.
The evening included presentation of the Alumnus of
the Year Award to Miguel Sanchez, Class of 1997. Miguel
has been a dedicated member of the alumni community and
an integral participant in the school’s annual Prep for Prep
Alumni Panel, having served as a panelist more than any other
alumnus. The panel meets with sixth graders in the spring, in
advance of their welcoming a Prep for Prep classmate in the
fall of Seventh Grade. Miguel is an alumnus of Prep for Prep,
a Gates Millennium Scholar, and a Robert Toigo Fellow. He
earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and an A.B.
in Government from Harvard College.
Outside of Saint David’s, Miguel joined Management
Leadership for Tomorrow in 2016 as a Career Prep Coach.
MLT is a non-profit organization that is changing the face of
leadership in the private and social sectors. It provides high-
achieving African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans
with a winning professional playbook, one-on-one coaching,
and door-opening relationships that accelerate their career
paths from college to MBA to senior leadership.
In accepting the award, Miguel spoke of his fondness
for Saint David’s and his desire to give back to the school in
appreciation of his teachers. He also thanked his parents for
directing him to Saint David’s School in the first place, noting,
“My mother knew what I needed in order to grow into the
good man my parents hoped I would become.”
