T
A Change-Over!
he faculty at CBA have a reputation of excellence,
and their newest additions are no exception. Al­
though it may be stated correctly that CBA stu­
dents are noted for excellence, it should not be ne­
glected that the faculty also have special distinction.
With this in mind, new members were hired to continue
the tradition.
Mrs. Redick was hired to teach Physics, Environmental
Science, and Pre-Calculus. She has brought unique per­
spectives to her classes, and has demonstrated to her
students numerous times her enthusiasm for teaching. This
is significant, since it affects her students in such a way
that they have an enthusiasm for learning.
Another example is Mr. Kevin Davis, who was em­
ployed to teach religion. He is one of the three Davis's
employed at CBA, which makes it rather difficult at times
to decipher who's who. His classes are not conventional,
and religion takes new shape in his classes. Through pro­
jects, papers, etc. he demonstrates that learning religion
does not have to be strictly from a religion book. Within
his classes, ideas are discussed, and most importantly,
religion is explained. His explanations are not the text
book answers, but rather, deeper explanations about
religion's validity.
One last example is Mr. Bartell, who teaches social
studies. His approach is informal. He explains concepts
succinctly. Students enjoy this, as it better helps them to
learn.
These are only a few of the many examples of the
newly added faculty. To mention all their good qualities
in one short article would prove impossible. Let it be stat­
ed that none of their efforts are going unnoticed.
Mr. Conroy presents a serious front,
but on the inside he’s full of fun!
Mr. Lovecchio lakes teaching very se­
riously. Every day before school he
sacrifices his time to help students that
have trouble with his demanding
homework.
