At Bishop Carroll, it is our mission to educate the whole student in

spirit, heart, mind and body, striving for excellence in these four pillars that form a strong foundation for life inside and outside of school .

With the close of the 2014-2015 school year, we are truly inspired by the achieve-

ments of our students in all four pillars and the lasting impact they have made on the greater community around them .

We invite you to celebrate these incred-ible young people for all they’ve accom-plished. They’ve achieved much more than we could possibly include, but here are a few great examples .

The Joy of Giving

This year, our students brought joy to senior

citizens at the Ebensburg Senior Activities Center, residents at Rebekah Manor, and students at Skills . Students lifted the spirits of these individuals through holiday traditions, including singing Christmas carols and coloring Easter eggs . During Christmas, each homeroom also purchased gifts for families in need, and we sent nearly 4,000 cards to our troops overseas . Homerooms purchased gifts for families in
