Below is an email sent by CRSM Principal, Dr. Michael Odiotti, to the students and staff on November 5, 2025:
Dear CRSM community:
We don’t have an assembly this week so thought I would share a celebrating success story via email.
I don’t know how many of you got a chance to see or talk to Karolyn Williams (SMdP Class of 2012) when she and her mom visited today. The mom and Karolyn (and Karolyn’s daughter) came by today to thank the school for the impact a SMdP/CRSM education had on their family. The mom told Pierre, “This place is a miracle, keep on doing what you all are doing.” The mom recounted how she was just 14 when she had Karolyn and was just a kid herself navigating school choices for her daughter when she was in her 20s. Karolyn recently passed the bar and now works in the AG’s office in Indianapolis. She works in the consumer protection division of the AG office protecting consumers from unethical and unlawful business practices. She joins her sister, Cheyanne Williams CRSM ’15, as the second lawyer in the family. Cheyanne, as you may be aware, is a lawyer for the King and Spalding law firm and was our keynote speaker at last year’s Founders Dinner. Cheyanne’s practice focuses on complex commercial real estate transactions, primarily in real estate finance and development. Both of them had their struggles in their high school careers but matured and grew exponentially (behaviorally and academically) over their four years with us. Thanks to everyone that helped and played a part in Karolyn’s and Cheyanne’s development over their years here with us at CRSM. And thanks to everyone for creating a school and environment that helps play a small part in all these incredible stories of our current students and our alumni who are truly “going forth and setting our world on fire.” If you have a good Williams’ sister story, reply to this email. I know Mr. Horcher has some 🙂
May we seek “ever to excel” in all we do.
Sincerely,
Mike Odiotti
