Thank You Sr. M. Paul!

Saying good-bye to someone you have worked with for a long period of time is difficult. 

 

Saying good-bye to someone whose energy you have admired for a long period of time is very difficult. 

 

Saying good-bye to someone whose vision and work ethic has been an inspiration for a long period of time is most difficult.

 

Saying thank you to that same person is next to impossible.

 

On behalf of the many Marian Catholic High School Football squad members, coaching staff members, and parents that you have worked with over the many years and affected in only the special way that you can, I would like to take this opportunity to extend our collective thanks to you on a job well done.

 

Recently, I had the great opportunity to listen to a presentation by Pat Williams, senior vice-president of the National Basketball Association’s Orlando Magic. His story is unique, his topic often referred to, and his insights very compelling.

 

Leadership is often talked about, discussed, and over-burdened by well-intentioned executives. Pat Williams described leadership with simple terms that have a wealth of potential. Your vision of and for Marian Catholic High School, your boldness to not accept no for an answer, and your willingness to communicate that vision - set you apart. You leave behind a living legacy in the form of Marian Catholic High School – no longer “the best kept secret on the southside.”

Thank you, and best of luck as you begin your new assignment, and more importantly, your next “challenge.”
