Mr. Hamrick Theology Teacher

My name is Alec Hamrick and I am very eager to start my new position here at Santa Clara and incredibly honored to join a rich tradition of faith and education. Before I get to know all of the students on campus, I’d like to briefly introduce myself. I have lived in Ventura County since 2009, and I currently reside in Oxnard. My family, including my immediate family, also resides in Ventura County. I graduated in 2013 from Saint Bonaventure High School where I was an active member of the Campus Ministry team and ASB. After graduating high school, I attended El Camino College in Los Angeles as I discerned the priesthood and the seminary. While at El Camino, I lived in a formation house (The Juan Diego House) with others who were actively discerning the priesthood and the theological ministries.
After my time at El Camino, I relocated back to Ventura County where I have continued to discern independently. While attending Oxnard College and later CSU Channel Islands (of which I am a recent alumni with a Sociology degree), I remained active in ministries and outreach and had a two year stint as a teachers assistant and assistant campus minister here at Santa Clara. In my time with ministry, I have always found outreach to the youth most fulfilling and look forward to continuing my passion.
Outside of the classroom and ministry, I love attending Dodger games, traveling, enjoying the outdoors and spending time with my german shepherd. I am looking forward to becoming a Saint and wearing the Blue and Gold with pride.
