SISTER JOANNE MONGELLI Music Director We are very excited about initiating music as a major next year. This is the best possible step we can take to help raise the level of our performance, and also give students time to grow their musical skills. ANNE ODLAND Director of Choral Activities I wish more students knew how much fun we have in choir! Our “public face” is what they see when we sing for school liturgies and masses, but that is only a small fraction of what we do. The music we prepare for our concerts comes from a wide range of genres and styles, and we definitely include music that most everyone would have fun singing. CHRIS TAMBURINI Department Chair, Visual Arts Teacher I’m proud of the fact that our visual arts department went from a department that no one was familiar with to a top contender in almost every visual arts contest. Our students have won numerous competitions and secured millions in scholarships.
