To administer well is an art, and a sign of good administration is a smoothly run operation. Andrean is blessed with four fine artists. Many students are not aware of the countless hours which the principal and assistant principals spend twelve months of the year coordinating curriculum and schedules, setting up the calendar, maintaining the highest standards of Catholic education, and generally organizing the many facets of Andrean life. The people who are involved in Administration here at Andrean are dedicated, and this accounts for a large measure of their success. It’s the principle(s) of the thing.” TOP: It’s impossible to calculate the amount of paper work involved in keeping a 1200- student school running smoothly, as Father Schwenzer well knows.

Find a book, find a course, college or profession — the Library and Guidance Departments are at our service. The library facilities, under the guarded care of Sister Emma, are open for the students’ use from 8 to 4. Not only a goldmine for the information-seekers, the library is an unparalleled haven for anyone who needs a moment of peace and quiet. Throughout the year little slips summon students to the office of their Guidance Counselor. Evaluating progress, investigating the lack of it, determining course selections, filling out college, scholarship, and job applications — all these are the concerns of our four Main Hall Residents. Although this work occupies most of the counselors’ time, each teaches at least one class and also finds time to advise students on levels more important than scholastic achievement.
