I won’t ever forget the years I spent in Mrs. Hart’s classroom during my time at Subiaco. She taught with humor and rigor. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. We’ve shared many memories from those times among my brothers from the Class of 2015 since hearing the news. We’re all better because of her. May she rest in peace.
