MIAMI | Last week, students from Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep hosted a group of students from Colegio Cardenal Newman, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Colegio Stella Maris, Montevideo, Uruguay, and accompanied them to the ACTION Student Leadership Workshop held in St. John’s, Florida.
Students from schools operated or staffed by the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers North America and Latin America gathered to celebrate the charism of Blessed Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers. The workshop focused on leadership development, advocacy, community building, and communication among the schools.
Since 1985, the Congregation of Christian Brothers has administered Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep. In 2012, the school welcomed its first lay principal, but the Christian Brothers continue to serve at ACND in administrative, counseling, and teaching roles.
“Through the decades, ACND has been a place where young people of different cultures and ethnicities have learned to know one another in friendship as children of God," said Douglas Romanik, ACND principal. "The ACND family strives to be a model of justice and harmony to South Florida. By joining forces with the students from Colegio Stella Maris and Colegio Cardenal Newman, the ACND student leaders have an opportunity to further develop this appreciation.”
This year marks the 29th year that ACND students have participated in ACTION.
Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep will hold an open house on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 1 to 3 p.m. For information, visit www.acnd.net/admissions.
