Another Alum told me that the previous week he had decided to stay with his service-related job among the poor, rather than take a different job with a huge pay increase. And that it wasn t until the middle of my little homily that he realized how much his Saint John s roots and the Benedictine Values had played in that decision. As I have told many about my job, it s like the Gospel parable where you get back 100 times as much as you give. All I can say is that Saint John s Prep alums and Saint John s Prep students are the greatest. I love them.
Faculty members develop in-depth study options in place of the regular class schedules.
Courses will be offered in a variety of areas, and students choose to enroll in the topic they are most interested in studying. Students are expected to be in school and to participate in one of the options. More information will be coming out prior to Thanksgiving Vacation. Two Prep students were selected to participate in this year s St. Olaf Honors Band. Out of nearly 400 students nominated, they selected the finest students to make a top notch band of about 130 members.
