On the Diversity of
Our Faculty
Although C.B.A, is a relatively small school, we do possess a broad range of teaching
styles, as well as teacher personalities. This is not surprising, because even though we
are a close knit community, we are a community of individuals, each having unique
ideas and perspectives. This is not the case in many schools, and we are proud to
distinguish ourselves.
A good example of a boisterous, loud, yet enthusiastic teacher is Mr. Moretti. Mr.
Moretti always seems to get his point across, no matter what happens. It’s obvious he
enjoys what he does, for, with each word, the excitement pours out. He also achieves
excitement by opening and closing the door every other second.
Organization is common among math teachers, and Mr. Lovecchio exemplifies this.
He arrives very early, and he leaves very late. What does he do? He plans his lessons
by cutting and pasting worksheets together, making up worksheets, and just thinking
about what has to be taught the next day. In between, he, of course, teaches his classes.
Some students joke with him, and call him the “Big L’’, but they all realize that his
organization is what is helping us to learn math.
Sometimes when one thinks of an art class, one thinks of boredom, or maybe an
extremely easy course, or just unfun. Ms. McGinty certainly destroys these stereotypes.
Her class is not boring, and it is fun. It’s obvious to her students that she knows what
she’s doing, and she certainly loves art! Through this, her students began to feel and
understand her passion, and begin to enjoy art.
All the teachers at C.B.A. may have different teaching styles, but they do have a
common dedication to the students. They all want the students to succeed here, as well
as in the future. Therefore, the approaches might be different, but the goal is the same.

Another day, another
paycheck! Mr Conroy
seems to wish mornings
never existed.
Art class is always filled with fun and surprises. Ms.
McGinty looks on as Adam Purcell discovers another
blot of paint on his eighth grade graduation robe.
Students aren’t the only
ones who set fashion
trends. Mrs. Irwin sports
the “rustic look” as she
struts down the hallway.
