    Dubai has proven to be an International City not only for Trade and Commerce as well as Gold and Oil, but also in the display of International ethnicity and International Culture, but also International Intellectuals and International Entrepreneurs. Both St. Agnes as well as St. Aloysius should be proud that they too have a little role to play for the progress and prosperity of Dubai. In addition to the Intellectual strength St. Agnes and St. Aloysius has generated in Dubai, they have also created an unique virtue of character and talent by giving the very best to the multi-cultural Society where they belong in a small but vibrant society of Dubai.

    The major attribute of credit for St. Agnes as well as St. Aloysius goes out to the A.C. Nuns and the Jesuit priests who have created a talented group of faculty who in turn have inculcated the best of intellectual discipline to all their students who have been fortunate enough to move to so many parts of the world including Dubai, and shared the best of intellectual goodwill and friendship to all the people of International communities wherever they were fortunate to move, including Dubai.

    Annual get-togethers of both St. Agnes and St. Aloysius with the presence of some of the dignitaries such as Sr. Jeswina, Sr. Olivia, Fr. Swebert and Fr. Dion Vaz are some of the best reflections of these reputable Institutions who have been fortunate in producing some of the best and successful students in so many parts of the world, including the Sheikhdom of Dubai. Thank you St. Agnes and St. Aloysius for all your contributions towards Education that you have inculcated so well in so many parts of the world, including the four humble walls of a simple home in Texas.
