Gestures
I am blessed enough to say that I was taught by Mrs. Latham for two years and as well as worked with her outside of class. I had the honor of Mrs. Latham turning my ring and am forever grateful for her support. Mrs. Latham was one of the biggest role models in my high school career and remains to be as I advance through college. She is the largely the reason for where I am in my studies and without her confidence in my abilities, I would never had gotten to where I am. Without her push I would have been much more apprehensive to apply to engineering school and to this day it has been one of the greatest decisions I have made. She inspired and will continue to inspire those around her with her passion for learning and extreme compassion to all.
My deepest sympathies to the Latham family.

Mrs. Latham touched the lives of so many people with her spirit and kindness. I was in her algebra class during my freshman year and she went out of her way to make her classroom a comfortable place where everyone felt they could speak up. I’ll never forget the amazing ENABLE project she helped bring to Sacred Heart. Through ENABLE, we made 3D-printed hands for people who were born missing fingers. She took a week out of her class so we could devote time to make these hands carefully. When we sent the hands to the recipients, Mrs. Latham was moved to tears and shared a Pope Francis quote that she felt resembled the work we had completed. I was, for the first time, moved to tears in class as she expressed how proud of us she was. I’ll never forget this experience that she worked so hard to make a possibility. She was a fantastic teacher and an even better role model who taught us to take what we had learned in the classroom to make the world a better place.
My deepest condolences to the Latham family.

You were a very loved and kindest person to many. A passionate educator and role model. Thank you for being a light when it was bleak. In the short time I met you I saw how caring and loving you were to your colleagues and students. Rest in peace you will not be forgotten.
I am lucky enough to have had the pleasure of being a student in Mrs. Latham’s pre-calculus class my junior year at Sacred Heart from 2014-2015. Mrs. Latham was consistently bright, extremely caring, and passionate – every quality you could wish for in a remarkable teacher and person. I have many fond memories of her class; her creativity and enthusiasm were always appreciated and a valuable bright light in an otherwise tough year for many of us. I distinctly remember her well-wishes and encouragement before my religion project, and her understanding spirit and genuine support for all of her students made her a favorite amongst many.
Such a lovely person and teacher will be dearly missed. I know the impact she had on myself and several of my friends was profound.
Sincerest condolences to her family, Mrs. Latham will be dearly missed.

I had the pleasure of being apart of Ms.Latham’s first graduating class as principal of 2017. I went through a tough stage at that point in my senior year struggling with possibly having to remove my tonsils in the middle of the school year. She was so understanding and supportive of myself every step of the way encouraging me to keep pushing forward but to put my health first . I’m deeply saddened by these news and will keep the rest of my SJHS and Latham family in mind as we mourn the loss of our beloved Ms.Latham.
Dear Caroline, you have brought light to our SJHS community every day with your energy, enthusiasm, devotion, imagination and can-do spirit. Rest assured that we will, in turn, do our very best to bring light to others following your excellent example. Your candle will burn brightly in our hearts forever. Thank you for generously sharing all that you are with us.
Love,
Mary
You’ve planted your roots of joy, kindness, professionalism, and love to all of us at St. Joseph. Like a tree your memory will grow and be a beacon of light. I am truly sad and I will miss our talks. You were an amazing principal and I will never forget you and the impact you’ve had on my life. I love you Mrs. Latham.
We've lost one of our best. Caroline accomplished more of a mission here than most of us could even dream of doing. Strength to your family. Much love from a TMLA Sister.
