Gorman, Lynch, Rezek, Fowler, (f)Hynes, (m)Hynes, Br Mahoney, Mr Scott…read more Some of the greatest teachers I have ever had the honor to be graced by their methods. Fortunately, I had them over a four year period and took them for other classes. Sadly, most have moved on and retired- Gorman, Lynch - others I've lost contact with- the rest- but their legacy lives on. Walk down the E wing and you can see Lynch's closet where he smoked three cigs during our testing sessions. Or the indentation on the lockers from Gorman's golf club. Or you can hear Freyer say 'c'mere sonnnnn' six times so he can yell at you about your polo not being tucked in. Or the obnoxious smell and piss poor lighting of the Dwing. Or the overly bright C wing which had Fowler deal from the deck. Subconsciously, I believe that's why I like playing cards so much...because I got called on so many fucking times in his class especially when I was day dreaming about being in Gorman's class instead of Trig. B wing had Br. Mahoney who is the undisputed lightweight champ of the brothers. Mr Scott had such great enthusiasm for StL that it was a shock to me that I had heard he left. His legacy is one of playing an active role in the community- find a program that he didn't help think of or handle. In 02 the administration decided to erect a moto above the student entrance/exit- Leave as a Leader. I thought it was a bullshit moto...leave as a leader ha! But it didn't dawn on me until I was away for quite awhile and swung in for a visit to see if Gorman was around. I came in as a boy in 98 with a wickedly bad pubic-y mustache and left in 02 as a man...a grizzled man, but a grizzly leader.

St. Mary's is a Roman Catholic church in Riverside. I was baptized here, I did my first Communion…read morehere, I was confirmed here, and I have attended Sunday mass here (usually the 11:30) for my entire life, excluding the years I was in college. While I may not have met many people specifically through the church, many Riverside community members go to St. Mary's and I always am comforted to see plenty of people I know at church. The church itself is pretty intimate--certainly no megachurch. There are plenty of pews on the main floor, although I've only sat there a few times in my life. The choir loft almost always has seating or at least standing room that doesn't get in everyone's way if you happen to be late. Like any church, everyone flocks here for Christmas and Easter, so masses are held in the gym instead (which is part of the St. Mary School). The music isn't huge here (like huge churches that shell out thousands), but there are some incredibly talented cantors and sometimes there are instrumentalists who volunteer to play the harmonies (most recently, three high school violin players). The only reason I took away a star is because some of the priests have strong accents so I struggle a little to understand what is being said for the Homily. Overall, I love St. Mary's and I will certainly continue to attend mass here for as long as I live in the area. If you come to St. Mary's, I promise you will feel welcomed. "All Are Welcome." Note: I don't know why St. Mary's is listed in the "Colleges and Universities" categories. It's definitely a church!

I don't know the community nowadays but back in the day it was vibrant with social and fund-raising events. Monsignor Mroczkowski (try to pronounce that) was the pastor from 1967 to 1986. Look up his obituary to see some high powered Catholic clergy credentials. He was revered by parishoners and became Pastor Emeritus. He had a good voice and ran the choir. I think his degree was in Gregorian chant. That title was conferred by the Pope, so we didn't address him as Father, but Monsignor. This would be a holy place to me even if it were not an official holy place. So many funerals. My people are gone.

If I could give this school zero stars I would. I know have my third child going to this school…read more It's been six years since I first step foot into this school and I am becoming more and more unhappy at all the bad situations that happen at this school. I wish that my daughter hadn't decided to go here, she had the opportunity to go somewhere else. She was registered and classes all set up for her to start school but had a falling out with a friend and said she wanted to switch to Kennendy. If you Google this school you will find a few stories of these terrible situations but they aren't all there in the news and I'm not talking about FB news feed. Almost every single time I am at the school there is a fight. And no that isn't normal. There is a huge bullying problem too! My daughter that graduated last year was a victim and even though it was reported and the police were in the room at the time when they told the student to stop or else they would step in it still went on. I'm not posting this to "cry/whine" about the school but to help other parents.
