Our guidance department has the necessary forms, catalogues, and brochures to help us choose colleges and careers that are best suited for us. We also get our personal schedules styled to meet individual needs. Besides invaluable help with the practical business of scheduling courses and choosing the right colleges and careers, Andrean students find in our counseling staff a warmth and friendliness that make us feel at ease and confident discussing goals, interests, or difficulties.

Library Books, books, and more books, magazines, card catalogue, stereo, newspapers, and television make Andrean’s library more than just another room in the school. It serves as an information center, a resource center for audio-visual equipment, a theatre, a meeting room, and a place for serious study or quiet reflection. Father Martin and Mrs. Owen are always ready to help students and faculty utilize our library. They make available and explain to us the many, many sources of information and educational techniques which our Andrean library contains.

Theology Bibles, statues, crucifixes, chapel, liturgies, prayers, priests, and sisters are all visible signs around Andrean exemplifying without words that we are a Catholic Christian school. But we do not stop at external signs; we internalize our faith in our study of theology. Our theology classes help us to understand our faith and nourish its growth so that we are spiritually prepared to face and to cope with a complex and sometimes chaotic universe. Our study of our religion causes us to become increasingly aware of the presence of God in our world and in ourselves. Biblical Literature and New Testament in ninth and tenth grades teach us the foundations of our faith. Psychology helps us to understand ourselves and each other as children of God. Faith and Morality prepare us to participate in society as responsible Christian adults. TOP: Sr. Edith listens intently as Elaine Mendez presents a report to a New Testament class.
