Everyone I have met at Mitty has inspired me to want to attend myself. Since my brother is a Mitty student, I have gotten to witness firsthand how much he enjoys Mitty. When I was a guest to Kristen Voelker, I was delighted to have that viewpoint validated, as it was very obvious she enjoyed her time at Mitty. Throughout that day, I was greeted by many people, freshmen, and seniors alike, and all were friendly. The positivity just broadened my favourable view of Archbishop Mitty High School. I…

If a dive bar is always shabby and seedy, is it possible to be “the best” in being the worst? If so, would the award for the best dive bar actually go to the worst? Many of these common standards that define a dive…

Both of these documents express opposing views of liberty through the eyes of John Winthrop and Roger William.

He desires the colony to be an ideal Christian community built on the principal of loving your neighbor as Christ commands.

The colonists, however, seem to be…
