Promote Christian Community Reverend Michael Sexton, the assistant principal of our school, has the special qualities of generosity, patience, and spintuai leadership. Generosity is particularly noticeable in his giving of himself and his time by aiding the principal, teachers, and students Patience is Certainly evident in his official capacity as disciplinarian of the school. This duty not only necessitates individual conferences with students, but also group study hall after school. likewise, patience is a visible characteristic when checking absentees since individual parents must be contacted for verification of absences Spiritual leadership is obvious in Father Sexton's beautiful morning prayers over the Public Address System. In addition to the prayers, his participation in student liturgies by concclebration is certainly an exemplification of his spiritual leadership. His sermons at these liturgies are truly inspiring for the whole school community. With Father Sexton’s presence, everyone is consciously aware of this year's tlicmc — CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY. The modular schedule of John Carroll is a rather complex system! It requires patience, insight, and. most importantly, a mathematical mind Sister Dominica Rigotti. the school administrator, has all these qualifications She arranges the schedules for students and teachers as well as the mod-time for different schedules such as morning activity and early dismissal. She also revises all schedules which need class changes. Sister Dominica can be commended for the small number of class conflicts during the school year She has worked continually to maintain a balanced modular scheduling. A personal note about Sister Dominica is that she enjoys all kinds of athletics but her first love is mathematics. John Carroll certainly owes its thanks to Sister Dominica for all the years, twenty to be exact, that she has worked for this school and its students.
