Milot (left), superintendent of schools of the Fall River diocese,welcomes new principalChristopher Keavy,a former Cape resident who served as principal at Padua Franciscan High School in Ohio. It has often been said that men plan and God laughs. It has also been said that the Lord works inmysteriousways. Right now Christopher Keavy is paying close attention to the latter statement, finding it rather true. A little more than one week ago, Ke- avy and his family were packingthe last of their boxes in preparation for their official move to Cape Cod. Keavy had been named principal of the new Pope John PaulIIHigh SchoolinHyannisand was looking forward to, as he explained, cominghome. "IwasborninWarehamand grewup in Mattapoisett,"he said. "Home feels like something in your life and when you're away from it, you realize it." Although Keavy was enjoying his employment at Padua Franciscan High School in Parma, Ohio, there was a part of him that continually longed for the shores of Cape Cod. While he wasn't openly searching,when helearned ofthe Hyannisposition, "I onlyapplied for one job," he said. Officially on Cape for little more than a week, Keavy is already immersing himself in his new school. "This is an administrator'sdream,"he said duringa chat inthe makeshift mainoffice amidst ongoingrenovationofthe building."Tobe able to develop avision, and to take the vision of the Gospel and what the com- munitywants and [put them together] is a dream." Giventhat theschoolisawashinsheet rock dust with saw horses in the halls, it may seem strange to bring in the new principal. On the contrary, Keavy notes that the next year willbe quite full as he assists in the final development of the school. "I have plenty to do," he said. "School isn't just intellect. It's arts, athletics. School is all those intangible things.We're in the planning stages." Keavyplanstobeinvolvedinallaspects ofpreparation at Pope John PaulII,hav- ing been an integral part of a successful Catholic high school while at Padua Franciscan. "There'snot an aspect ofthe school where I'm not involved,"he said, noting that the planning taking place right now involves not only opening in fall 2007, but the 2011 school year when the first classes will graduate. The curriculum Keavy wants is a bal- ance of college preparatory-levelcourses and extra-curricular activities such as sports and theater.Religion courses will be arequirement."God isadailyreality," said Keavy. "I don't know why religion wouldn't be." While Keavy is happy to be a part of the development process, he is anxious for the days when students will crowd the finished hallways."Schoolleadership canbedeeplysatisfying,"he said."You're doing something for other people that givesgifts over and over again." What propels Keavy in his endeavors is a rock-solid faith. When making the weighty decision on accepting the Pope John PaulIIdecision,he admits to pray- ing. It helped that the moniker of the school was changed from St. Francis XavierHighto Pope John PaulII."Ihave a specialfondness for Pope John Paul II and hislegacy,"Keavy explained."When Isawthat the schoolwould be namedin his legacy,it was a selling point." Keavywouldliketo seePopeJohnPaul II High School become a testament to the pontiff's legacy, which he believes was primarilyabout hope. "Doesn't hope make whatever else you're doing that much better?" he asked. What also helped in Keavy's decision wasthe tremendous support hereceived from his wife, Debra, and their two children, Billy, 7, and Shannon, 8. "I am asking this of my family,but I trust that there are rewards," said Keavy. That he was able to quickly sell his Ohio home and purchase a new one in Yarmouthport and has so far been able to transition into his new job smoothly is all the proof Keavy needs to know he made the right decision. "That'showyou know things are right," he said, "when they all come together." PopeJP II High principal takes the reins KATHLEEN SZMIT PHOTO A NEW DIRECTION - Joe Slominski is Barnstable School District's director of facilities and will assist intracking changes in enrollment. Barnstable School District has a director of facilities. Joe Slominski, formerly the town's structures and grounds supervisor, assumed office a bit more than a week ago and is already immersed in the work. "He has not been idle for one min- ute,"said Supt. Dr.Patricia Grenier after introducing him to the school committee Tuesday."He is really working the issues." Slominski, who is "glad to be on board," will assist in tracking changes in enrollment while helping to prepare short- and long-term plans for renova- . tion, expansion or closure of school buildings.
