The monastic in me naturally gravitates to quiet, meditative spaces. The intense Passion of Holy Week reached its triumphant conclusion at last night's Easter Vigil. The glorious Sunday morning masses continuing the celebration are yet to come. In the peace and solitude of the…

Holy Week always feels surreal. It comes at a time in the school year when we're gearing up for the final push to the finish line. But the Triduum brooks no compromises. Everything else is put on hold and comes to a standstill as we contemplate the magnitude of what happened…

Well, friends, it’s all come down to this. Only one of these saintly souls will walk away with the 2024 Golden Halo — Julian of Norwich or Albert Schweitzer. It’s time to cast your final vote of Lent Madness XV! lentmadness.org/2024/03/julian…

When two or three Hawaii Teachers of the Year are gathered together, good things are bound to happen.

As #ReadAcrossAmerica Week continues, I was reminded of how we're never too old to be read to in a convo with Jan Iwase. It turns out that some of my fondest memories of being read to come from my high school math teachers!

My algebra teacher took a week off from our regularly…

Are you ever too old to celebrate #ReadAcrossAmerica Day? I hope not, because reading remains one of the great joys of my life. A good book will make you laugh out loud and move you to cry tears of both happiness and sorrow. It will comfort you, challenge you, and stretch you…

Serving on an accreditation visiting committee is always an intense experience. You become totally immersed in a school that is not your own for almost an entire week and it's a surreal experience to return to your home school on Friday.

When you've been at a school for a long…
