from the principal s desk dear sisters and brothers in christ as i sit here on my porch on this beautiful summer evening my thoughts turn to this time last year when ms hanrahan asked me to consider becoming the principal of seton keough high school i found myself at a loss for words i know that is hard to believe but after the initial shock wore off i asked for some time to think and to pray as i drove home i began my dialogue surely lord you don t mean me i prayed and asked the same question over and over again until about 3 a.m and the answer was always the same you are not alone so i conceded your will be done when i met with ms hanrahan the very next day i gave my answer with a caveat if you can accept the fact that i will make mistakes and if you understand that i often ask for forgiveness instead of permission then i can accept your generous offer she smiled and so the journey began oh yes there were some mistakes but there were also wondrous moments of grace and tremendous growth not only on my part but on the part of all the stakeholders of this school spiritually we have increased the variety of opportunities to serve offered by our service learning program increased our acre scores reinstated retreats and offered the sacrament of reconciliation to our student body academically we have revised our curriculum provided professional development observed and learned from our staff and students offered a variety of new courses explored the expansion of our fine arts program witnessed an increase in test scores and the number of college scholarships awarded to our students and watched our dream team reach for the stars institutionally we have successfully established a positive working relationship with holy angels catholic school added an additional computer lab and wi-fi created partnerships to ensure student internships purchased through text book funds ipads and ipods ereaders and software to increase technology for our language lab media center and marillac program investigated a new food lunch program and freshened up our cafeteria/meeting space koegh hi g u a ho norh sc n ho alone i am thankful to all of you for your continued support of the school s mission of sending forth women of honor i am thankful to my colleagues for their professionalism dedication and hard work i am thankful to the students for reminding me how wonderful it is to be young i am thankful to the parents for sharing their daughters with our school community and as in all things i am thankful to god for all these blessings se t o collegially we have worked collaboratively revised our handbooks established a school culture of care welcomed a new school board hired new teachers danced at the prom and worked together to move the school forward titas anc s seton keough high school has accomplished all of this and much more this year and we did it because we are not scien t i so as i look back at the past year and as i look forward to the new school year i smile and i dance i do so love to dance for greg anderson reminds me it is not the final destination but the journey that brings us joy i pray that we continue on this journey together in god s good grace and continued blessings ol 1988 est sen yours in christ principal 2 seton keough high school news orth wo m e of n h angela calamari gf on or din
