The Gregory the Great Academy 2015-2016 academic year has begun! We are very pleased to welcome 49 students this year. After a week of outdoor activities and introductory classes at the Carpathian Village, the student body has moved into Pine Hill where the regular routine of the year is underway. Monday morning began with the sound of bagpipes and the annual tradition of the handing out of the class ties. Headmaster Sean Fitzpatrick gave a brief talk about the history behind the class tartan ties and explained the significance connected with the tartan and the individual classes. The orientation period ended with the introduction of the Senior class and the singing of the school song, “The Minstrel Boy.”
