On Sept 9, guest speaker Paul Deegan came to speak to JC about his experiences climbing Mt. Everest. This year’s summer reading novel was “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer, which detailed the author’s ascent up Everest.
Students turned in their summer reading assignments to their advisories. Advisories also discussed the impact of the novel and the speaker.
After the speaker and class meetings, Opening Mass was conducted to bring students into the new school year. The new student ministers were introduced and a 9/11 commemoration followed the Mass.
