Although the death of Cameron Neal was very difficult and sad for our community, it brought out the best in our students.  Because of this, the memories I will carry forward with me are not sad, but rather, inspirational.  Juniors arriving en masse to the Neal household on Monday to console their classmate, 140 students attending the funeral on Friday and supporting each other throughout the day, collecting over $2,500 for the family, making Cameron the honorary captain at the football game and chanting his name upon victory.  I was very proud of our students last week as they were truly the Carroll family!

No family is perfect though, and occasionally we do not act as we should towards one another.  Small disagreements become big, which can lead to bullying; and, with access to social media, students sometimes make very poor choices that can be harmful to themselves or others.  October is "National Bullying and Harassment Month."   We are planning a number of events to bring attention to these important issues:

It is our hope that these events, along with the work we do in ministry each day, will remind our students that acting with love towards one another is the most important thing that we are called to do as Christians.
