Academics — A PERFECT FIT Although there are other im- portant aspects of our life at Bishop Fenwick, such as our ex- cellent sports program and ex- tracurricular activities, academ- ics is the most important part of our time here, especially because Fenwick is a college preparatory school. One of the reasons that Fenwick succeeds in its mission, with over ninety percent of its graduates attending college, is our superb teachers. They are not only excellent instructors in their subjects but make learning fun, as well. Remember Mrs. Patch’s Patch’s Court.” a takeoff of the popular TV program The People’s Court, ” which helped us critique our classmates ' oral reports ' ? What about Mr. Kawczynski’s wild field trips ' ? Or Ms. Sullivan’s Bible Trivia game and Mr. Hillner’s Bio- Ball? Our faculty’s innovative spirit makes classwork exciting and learning an adventure. Another reason such a large percentage of Fenwick’s students proceed to college is the great number of available courses. Required courses, such as English, provide the fundamentals, while electives, such as studio art and jour- nalism, allow us the opportunity to dabble in another field or learn special skills needed for college. Innovative and inspiring teachers, a well-balanced cur- riculum, and enthusiastic students combine to provide each individual with a perfect fit. Clockwise: Hard at work.
