Catholic parishioners city-wide expressed interest and appreciation. On August 16, when students and their parents returned to St. Edward School in Carlsbad for opening day, they were greeted with the smiling face of Mrs. Sande Hamberg, the school's new administrator. He provided a steady influence upon which Mrs. Hamberg plans to build. I plan to continue developing a strong curriculum emphasizing literacy. We want St. Edward to be a viable and competitive presence in Carlsbad.
Alternatives keep the public schools on their toes.
That kind of competition is good. Mrs. Hamberg brings to St. Edward School a wealth of educational and teaching experiences in Catholic, private and public schools, in elementary and high school levels, and special education. She took some time to relax and have some fun until the lure of the students overcame her. Her abundant energy is contagious, and not wanting to cut all former ties, she will continue her classes in Developmental Reading at New Mexico State University, Carlsbad, where she has been an instructor since 1985. Parents of St. Edward children are already marveling at Mrs. Hamberg's success during the brief time she has been employed.
