Lent is our time for revival and renewal. Itis the springtime of the Spirit. Like spring, it is a timefor newness of life and for growth—growth in the Spiritand in our relationship with the Lord.That sense of revival and renewal is veryevident on the campus of our beloved John CarrollCatholic High School. Our students continue to excelacademically as well as in extracurricular activities andservice to the community. One particularly excitingproject that our students are involved with is theconstruction of a Habitat for Humanity home. It notonly gives the students great practical experience butalso teaches them a sense of social responsibility andwill directly benefit a family in our own Ft. Piercecommunity!Support for our school remains at an all-timehigh.

Thesedevices allow for great diversity and ease of instructionand are loved by both faculty and students alike.The newsletter is written by Jennifer Trefelner.Contributing articles are written byRev. Thomas E. Barrett, Joe Paschal,Diane Hanna and Ben Hopper.Indeed it isspringtime forJCCHS. At a timewhen enrollment atCatholic schools islower, ourenrollment numbersremain strong.
