Catholic school

Many people judge people who went to a Catholic school. They believe that all we do is talk about God and pray. I had one kid ask me all of the girls in my 8th grade class were becoming nuns because that’s what all Catholic schoolgirls do. People think of Catholic school and they think of how much more expensive it is. Whey that is true, the education is worth it, at least in my opinion it is. A lot of people believe that Catholic schools students do not get a well-rounded education because many…

attend Arlington Catholic High School. The school’s motto is “Accept the Challenge” and I am up for that. Ever since I was little I dreamed about college and hopefully getting into the medical field. I think this school with help me try to find the right path in life and help me succeed. I am a big fan of the academics and if accepted, I will take advantage of all the great classes. The school’s quote is “… At Arlington Catholic High School means recognizing your role in our school…

As I walked through the front doors of Allentown Central Catholic High School, I felt a sudden rush of panic. Everything I had once seen and had once been familiar with in middle school quickly vanished into thin air. I was terrified, not because I thought I was going to get lost, but because I knew that every little quiz I took, every little paper I wrote, and every exam I labored over would now count toward my ultimate goal of getting into a prestigious university. I wasn’t scared of new…

every single year at St. Jude Catholic School. It is a very valid question, but the teacher never has an answer that whole-heartedly satisfies the students. Unfortunately for math teachers everywhere, this question will always remain under any circumstances. And that is, “what am I even getting out of all of this?” Well, above the surface, there really is no answer. But as you dig a little bit deeper, there are a multitude of things a person will gain out of middle school math class. For some…

Throughout history, schools have been in place for a variety of reasons, and they have increasingly been shaped by the society around them. Early on in the history of education, it was uncommon for children to attend for long because they were working to support their families. It was not seen early on as a gateway to a better and more successful life. Businesses also had a large influence on schools shortly after, and schools during the factory era were tailored to produce factory ready workers…

1. Every morning when I step through the front doors of Kennedy Catholic High School, I am greeted with a smile, whether it be from a friend passing by or a staff member standing in the hallway. A welcoming gesture, even as simple as a “Good morning,” always reassures me that I am appreciated in my school community. Throughout my two years attending Kennedy Catholic, I learned the importance of solidarity and having a supportive community. My teachers have helped me countless times with…

Anyone who has transferred schools knows that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach on the very first day, except for me that feeling was horrendous. Imagine coming to a place completely new to you, you hardly know a soul, and you have no clue where anything is. Well, that was me sophomore year. My freshman year I attended Althoff Catholic high school, for whatever reason it was. I played football in the fall, played the drums for the school band, and played baseball in the spring. I…

D er Alte Fritz (The Old Fritz) once said, “Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl,” and the Adelbu Panzer assault on Base 113 was dependent on air attacks from RGA Luftgeschwader planes, supported by the Self-Propelled Guns of the Remnants’ arsenal. The Adelburger groups leading the assault used ten Panzer IVs and Panzer Vs (“Panther”), both being Model G variants, with twice as many Sd.Kfz 251 halftracks sporting MG42s manned and crewed by an entire Adelburger crew.…

believe that the job of a Catholic school leader entails far more because I believe the profession of Catholic school leader is a vocation rooted in Christ. My role as a Catholic school principal is one of managerial leader, educational leader and most importantly as spiritual leader. It is my job to nurture a faith community that is built with relational trust and where my school can be transformed into a sacred place (Sergiovanni, 2015, p.12). In my Catholic school it is vital for me to…
