Serge Danielson-Francois teaches humanities, history, government and debate at Academy of the Sacred Heart. He is an avid country music fan and takes every opportunity to relate a lesson to a song. He is an inveterate Madisonian unwilling to sacrifice the common good for any illusory or expedient factional gain. He is convinced that the most important thing that he teaches is proper confidence: students should know what they know and be eager to fill in the gaps for all that remains unknown. Serge considers the theological projects of Bernard Lonergan, Yves Congar, and Gabriel Marcel to be constant guiding stars on his journey to know, love, and serve God. He has been teaching for as long as he has been married, 32 joyous years and counting.
