FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S
DESK

Dear Parents,
You may have noticed in
medical circles there seems to be two schools of thought regarding general
humanity. One school of thought, which I will term the 'broken man' holds
that everyone is 'broken', everyone has something out of position, functioning
improperly etc., and the goal of these practitioners is to make everyone whole,
to fix what is broken. The other school of thought, which I will term,
the 'whole man' holds that most people are generally healthy most of their
lives, they can always get healthier but they fit within the framework of
healthy. I do not claim that one attitude is superior to the other,
perhaps neither are, however we can learn something about mankind from them.
Christians essentially
see the world as a bit of both these attitudes. Before baptism, redemption, and
forgiveness, mankind is broken. (all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory
of God, Romans 3:23) Whenever we sin mortally, we again become
broken. God, the Divine Physician, stands ready to heal us, to set us
right and to place us back on the path to glory. At this point we
tend to follow the 'whole man' theorem. We are generally in a good
place, but there is room for improvement. We need to grow in our virtues,
in our character, and in our faith. There exists no upper limit to
perfection, we can always improve.
High school is where our
children workout the development of their character, in the struggle to master
information and skills, in the discipline of physical activities and in
refining their interpersonal skills. It can and should be a fun time, an
exciting time and a truly memorable time.
Homecoming is this week,
including the games and the Spirit days, and of course the Homecoming
Dance. It should be a wonderful time and to make certain it is
please make sure all your students come to the dance dressed appropriately and
at the dance act appropriately.
God bless,
