Cardinal George and the search committee for the Archdiocese of Chicago should get a universal Atta Boy from the people of Chicago. Catholics who send their children to Catholic schools ease the burden of all tax payers.

The Chicago Tribune just announced the appointment of Sister Paul McCaughey
Sister M. Paul McCaughey, president and very long-time school leader of Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights.

As a career Catholic high school teacher, I have known Sister McCaughey since the late 1970’s. She is the real deal and person who knows, respects, and works the traditions of Chicago Catholic education. This is a school leader who operates from a teacher’s knowledge of classroom; and administrator’s support of classroom teaching, but most of all as a child of Chicago Catholic schools herself.

I have witnessed Sister McCaughey measuring the shot put and discuss at track and field events and saw her counsel a sad kid who had failed English. Catholic schools – parents, teachers and administrators – Sister M. Paul McCaughey has your back.
