Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
To the Editor:
The recent news of Metropolitan Methodios of Boston endorsing a lawsuit on behalf of an employee (in this case a former professor) against our Holy Cross Seminary reveals an imprudent stance. The School, which had been financially mismanaged for decades by the prior Archdiocesan Administration, needs to be strengthened, not weakened. As much as it was difficult for the School to let certain faculty go, the pressing “financial exigency,” inherited from the past, made it the only responsible choice.
Every alumni of the School should be deeply concerned. When the School has struggled for so long to keep afloat, do we really need personal agendas to overshadow the longterm health of the most vital Institution of our Church in America? Let’s work for the future, and leave the past in the past.
