The “City Streets” of Hollywood, Miami, Las Vegas and New Orleans came to life on the AMHS campus this year as students planned and decorated their class hallways on Friday, September 28th in preparation for our Homecoming Week. The Junior class won the decorating competition with their transformation of the hallway into a slice of Miami Beach.
I would like to thank all of the people who donated blood at our 3rd annual Blood Drive on October 31st. It was a ghostly success. We collected many good units of blood and had fun doing it. We ate some pizza and had a good time collecting the units. Thank you again for all your donations and we hope to see you again for our Blood Drive on April 2nd. Hope to see you here.
Congratulations to the women’s golf team under the direction of Head Coach Carl Phillips and his Assistants, Michelle Davis and Henry Portela for becoming the first varsity team to finish their season undefeated at 10-0. The team also won the district crown for the third year in a row as Jaime Ritter earned medalist honors at the tournament. The team continued its success as they placed second in their region, thus earning a trip to the state tournament for the second year in a row. Individual records where broken this year as Diana Davis earned six medalist honors and finished with an average of 37.5 per nine holes. Also playing consistent golf for the Lady Mavericks are Sarah Rountree, Sarah Moeller, Alyssa Scinicariello, Kristen Sammarco and Gina Borges.
This year’s theme for Catholic Schools Week was “Catholic Schools Light the Way.” Archbishop McCarthy High School participated in the week’s activities by combining the events with Teacher Appreciation Week. Students got to express their appreciation for teachers in different ways. There were also Class Masses led by class officers. The liturgical music ministry also put together their first school concert with the help of the liturgical dancers.
The retreat program at Archbishop McCarthy High School is geared toward the students’ spiritual development. These retreats are guided by teachers, alumni and adults from our community of faith in order to afford our pupils a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith and create a closer relationship with God by concretely encountering Christ in others.
Friday, December 21, 2007 was a great day!! Congregating in the pavilion, Archbishop McCarthy alumni and teachers alike, got together to catch up and reminisce. Once again, Char-Hut provided first-rate catering service, assisted by several dedicated teachers. Most apparent, though, was the fellowship and friendship that has become so typical of the Archbishop McCarthy community. Many thanks to all who participated in making this year’s BBQ an event to remember!
