In reply to: It's not a Catholic school. * posted by irishcane
In my time, the school day started w/ chapel, and there was a 1-semester theology requirement. The text was C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity." It was taught by the school chaplain--Fr. O'Brien. A "Fr. O'Brien" who was married and had kids was an utterly foreign concept to me.
On the whole, it was visibly less Epsicopalian than Marist was Catholic. At Marist, we regularly said an Our Father and/or a Hail Mary before classes. Day before '73 USC game, the son of Jack Connor (and nephew of George Connor) suggested that we pray for a ND win the next day when we stood up for the Our Father at start of history class.
Maybe 20-25% of the SAS students were Jewish then. I have no clue as to what it's like now.
in Ft. Lauderdale? Just wondering, as a number of my CGH classmates from Boca did that.
in transferring at midyear, and I had already started at SAS by the time I got accepted at CGHS. My sister went there.
CGHS sent a LOT of students to ND & SMC in those days. They included Tim Healy, who was a walk-on hoopster who was on the '78 F4 team.
I didn't know him personally, but his sister Chris was in my class.
