Students in grades six, seven and eight will receive the use of 55 dedicated Apple iPad tablet computers, which will help them do homework, research and other educational tasks, said Father Christopher Tiano, pastor of the Torrington Cluster of Roman Catholic Parishes.

Cary Dupont, principal of St. Paul Catholic High School, firmed up his school’s involvement with some high schools in China during a recent visit to that country.
Mr. Dupont attended the first International Symposium on High School Cooperation between China and the United States, which brought together administrators from four American Catholic high schools and principals from eight of China’s best schools, as designated by the Chinese government.

Students in prekindergarten through second grade at St. Thomas School in Southington make up the shape of a heart as they show off the red sweatshirts, hair accessories and even shoes that they wore on Feb. 3 in support of the American Heart Association’s National Wear Red Day – Go Red for Women. In conjunction with the day, the students raised $200 for the cause. They were helped by school nurse Laurie Bleu and Mary Pat Wirkus, principal. (Photo submitted)

WEST HARTFORD – When three outstanding high school senior athletes announce their intentions to play sports at three different colleges, you might expect one to outshine the other two. But at Northwest Catholic High School on Jan. 5, it wasn’t all that easy to decide whether Mary Deneen, Brian Poirier or Sydney Golic deserved any more of the spotlight than the others.
