St. John Primary and St. Theresa Middle schools have named Amanda Lambert as their recipient of the 2024 Mother Seton Award.
The Mother Seton Award is sponsored each year by the Diocesan Home and School Association to honor individuals' volunteer service and dedication to home, school and church.
The honoree espouses gospel values and emulates the qualities of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first native-born citizen of the United States to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, a news release said.
For over seven years, Lambert has given selflessly of her time to both St. John Primary and St. Theresa Middle, the release said. She serves with Home and School on various committees, is head of the Sharing and Caring Committee for both campuses and has facilitated the yearly Catholic School Week Masses at St. Theresa of Avila Church.
She holds a seat on the SJP/STA School Advisory Board. All of this is accomplished while she teaches full-time Quest for Success, AP Human Geography, and Educators Rising classes at the high school level.
Her family is parishioners at St. Theresa of Avila in Gonzales. Her daughter, Ella, is graduating eighth grade from St. Theresa Middle this year.
