BA @ Kean University!


As a college-preparatory high school, our students have the unique opportunity to frequent the Kean University Campus and experience higher academic learning. This Friday, our Literary Club participated in a Poetry Fest at Kean University and our Campus Ministry Team Leaders attended a conference on Human Trafficking: Hidden in Plain Sight. Two of our students, Alicia and Chelsea, earned 4th and 6th placement in the Poetry Competition!
Meanwhile, our Campus Ministers met Senator Thomas Kean, Jr.; Senator Sandra Cunningham; Kent Manahan, the Chief Executive and former anchor of NJN; Ralph Marra, Jr., US Attorney; and several other distinguished speakers.
Back at school, Senior Students were taking AP Exams, the French Club was attending a local Cafe' to experience the French Cuisine, and a Lawyer Symposium was held for the entire school community. It was a busy week at Benedictine Academy as our students continue to be formed to become Global Leaders in our world.
