ST. AGATHA SCHOOL JOINS AWHS EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE

Archbishop Williams High School believes in the words of Helen Keller, who said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” In the interest of strengthening Catholic education at all levels of our region, Archbishop Williams invited area elementary schools, whose graduates attend Archbishop Williams High School, to form an educational alliance with AWHS.

On Thursday, January 15, at a ceremony attended by the Superintendent of Schools and hosted by Carmen Mariano, Ed. D, President of AWHS, and Mrs. Mary Lou Sadowski, the school’s Principal, Fr. Casey, our Pastor, and Mrs. Simmons, our Principal, formally enrolled St. Agatha School in the newly formed Archbishop Williams High School Educational Alliance. It was an inspiring, motivating moment.

On Thursday, February 11, Dr Mariano presented the banner to Fr. Casey and Mrs Simmons.

As a member, St. Agatha School students will be eligible for an additional scholarship in the name of the alliance. Graduates who choose to attend Archbishop Williams High School will be offered summer prep courses in English and Math prior to the start of their freshman year. Teachers will be welcome to attend any AWHS seminar, workshop or other professional development activity. Members of alliance schools will receive passes to attend any Archbishop Williams events, and will also have access to AWHS facilities for school sponsored activities, and much more.

We are most grateful to the administration and faculty of AWHS for their invitation to join with them to support and enrich Catholic education in our region by sponsoring this alliance. We look forward in hope to our participation in the alliance, which will help us all “build bridges to talents and treasures and plant the seeds of success” for our students, so that they may continue to “appreciate differences, foster friendships, and grow scholastically, socially and spiritually.”

Archbishop Williams High School and St. Agatha School have become members of the same TEAM. We share a common belief that is best expressed on the banner which adorns our school gym:
Together Everyone Achieves More.
