Principal Thoughts

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Mrs. O'Donoghue

This year’s theme “Catholic Schools:  Faith. Academics. Service.”  In just three words, theis theme expresses what Catholic schools are all about.  we teach our students failth, not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God.  We hold them to high academic standards and do everything we can to help students reach their full potential.  We also teach them how to serve, both as a way to express their faith and to become good citizens.

I am very proud to be part of GMC and I think those who help make George McCann a success:  Monsignor Dreiling, our teachers, staff, board members, parents, families and priests.  Through our dedication and commitement our students are learning in a culture of faith, academics and service that is preparing them for a full life in their families, communities and Catholic Church.

Happy New Year!  May this New Year be filled with special graces and blessings for our and your family.

Mrs. Rast
