McAuleyans of the late 1980's and early 1990's might remember Sister Karen Schneider, R.S.M. who taught Mathematics.  S. Karen earned her Medical Degree at SUNY Downstate and has worked in the Pediatric Emergency Room at Johns Hopkins Hospital.  S. Karen also leads "medical missions" to Peru, Haiti and Guyana.  Keep up the great work, S. Karen!  We at McAuley are proud of you.

A New Look For Rooms 14, 15 & the Science Lab

The room where thousands of McAuleyans learned to type is now a networked computer lab!  Congress recently approved funding for computer networking and internet access for schools and libraries.  As a result, McAuley was able to renovate Room 14.  Room 14 was a large classroom, double the size of most of the other classrooms.  A new wall was built dividing the room in half and on one side of it are 24 networked Pentium 4's with internet access.  All ninth grade students take a computer course where they learn the Microsoft Office Suite:  Word, Excel, and Access.  They also use e-mail and access the internet for academic research.  Elective computer courses in Web Page Design and Desktop Publishing are available to eleventh and twelfth graders. 

We thought that building this new wall was an original idea until we looked at the school's blueprints.  This "new" wall was actually part of the architect's plan!  We hold in our heart the many women who have passed through this room, especially the Sisters of Mercy who instructed them in the skills needed for employment.
