President Robert P. Morissette welcomed members
of the freshman class to the Home of the Cougars, reminding
students that the school acts as a family unit with everyone
pitching in to ensure success. Morissette emphasized the rule
of respect that each student should follow: respect for oneself,
respect for others, and respect for our surroundings. Additional
greetings –and words of wisdom- were offered by Principal
Michael Scanlan followed by Dean of Students Justin Shay,
Guidance Director Donna Fiori and Campus Minister, Deacon
Anthony Cipriano.
The Bishop Connolly Student Council conducted
ice breaker events to include a scavenger hunt, mastery of
locker combinations and other first day activities which concluded
in a lunchtime pizza fest. With stomachs full and hunger sated,
the Class of 2011 moved into a run-through of academic classes
successfully completing the school day.
Regular classes for all students take place
