A familiar face at Immaculata High School for over four decades, beloved cafeteria worker Mrs. Stephanie Pucowski marked 40 years of service in the Immaculata cafeteria on Wednesday, January 3, 2024. Known and remembered by many of our students and graduates as kind and always ready to greet them with a warm smile, she, in turn, has a fondness for the thousands of students she has served over the years and remembers them well.
Mother of Immaculata alumni Michael Pucowski '86 and Michele Pucowski Temples '93, and grandmother of current Immaculata High School student Nicholas Temples, class of 2027, pictured above, and Immaculate Conception School student Christopher Temples, class of 2024, Stephanie is highly regarded by generations of Spartans, past and present. We are grateful for her continued vocation to the school and congratulate her on this remarkable milestone of service!
