New Faculty Orientation

As the 2010-2011 academic year draws closer, the orientation for new faculty and staff being held today indicates that there is no turning back, as time marches on to September 7 and the first faculty meetings. It honestly seems as if we were just finishing the 2009-2010 school year, but here we are.
Today, a bright and eager group of ten new Central famliy members will receive an introduction into the history, mission and distinct characteristics of a Marist school, with its family spirit, simplicity, hard work, presence and marial imprint being what distinguishes it from other Catholic schools. This pattern, which enables us "to make Jesus known and loved," was designed by St. Marcellin himself and is the hallmark of Marist schools around the world. The personalities and vision of both St. Marcellin and Brother Florentius have left a blueprint and legacy that has made Central Catholic an outstanding example of Marist Education. As we seek to pass on that legacy as well as delve deeper into it, I ask your prayers that we may be faithful to the mission and values established by our founders.
Bro. Rene
