One of the things which differentiates Andrean from other high schools is the presence of the Theology Department. The religious faculty serves to enlighten the students with the Christian perspective embodied in Catholic theology. The classes cover the study of the Bible, psychology, the sacraments, morality, and faith. Besides gaining merely an academic knowledge of religion, students experience an encounter with Christ. They learn of the love of God for man which is exemplified in His creation, become more aware of Christ’s presence in the sacraments, and learn how to better understand themselves and others. The sense of Christian brotherhood which is stressed throughout the years is exemplified in the verses: I sought my God, but my God I could not see. I sought my soul, but my soul eluded me. I sought my brother and in him I found all three.” S. Mary Ann Nemec, SS.C.M. New Testament Faith and Sacraments c ! !

The Social Studies Department gives students an opportunity to learn more about the economic and political world in which they live. Classes such as Modern World History, U.S. History and U.S. Government familiarize students with past and current history and give students an understanding of their roots in time. Economics and Sociology bring students more up-to-date on the money-and-people-puzzles which are part and parcel of 20th Century American life. The department has undertaken some unusual projects in order to make the student body more aware of our nation’s 200th birthday. Several showcase displays in the main hall, a colonial bake sale, and a variety of skits during the Bicentennial Week assembly brought enjoyment to all. TOP: History X, taught by the combined efforts of Miss Trapane and Mrs. Weiss, provides Juniors with the chance to explore American historical events on a new accelerated level. CENTER: Sociology offers Seniors a better understanding of groups in society, their structure and behavior.
