Ourstrength must lie in a shared vision that will ignite a spirit ofenergy and pride to last a lifetime.Together we can do better.

Today our students are hungry to learnabout our parent schools, their storied traditions, and theirheritage of excellence. They are eager to advance this legacyin their studies, their prayer, their athletic competition, theircommitment to service, and their involvement in dozens ofschool activities.As we begin another school year, we do so with realisticconfidence because we believe that together we can do better.Indeed, we already have.Sr. Kathleen Ryannamed 2007 Northeast OhioPeacemaker of the YearSr. Kathleen Ryan, SND, has been awardedthe 2007 Northeast Ohio Peacemaker of theYear.
