Sister has embraced new technology establishing a computer lab and introducing interactive whiteboards to the classrooms and anticipating a pilot program with the language specialist Rosetta Stone. During her tenure as principal at Saint John’s, Sister has made extensive improvements to the interior and exterior of the school.

Father Antonio also adds his own message:
I would like to extend my most heartfelt gratitude to Sister Eileen Harvey, S.S.J for the gift of a very productive 28 years of her life to the children of the North End and all who attended Saint John School who were taught by Sister Eileen and her staff and instructed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Thank you Sister for all of your hard work and dedication and all that you have given to Saint John School and our community and may you remain active for many more years to come.
God Bless You. Father Antonio
