Haycock respects Marcus Aurelius, laughs at Commodus

What should I call you: Ms. Haycock, Magistra, HDawg, Double H Trouble?

Any of those would work, but I prefer Magistra (Latin for “teacher”).

Question from previous “Teacher’s Pet”: If you could trade places with a Brophy teacher or administrator for a day (laugh, laugh) who would it be, and why? Complete sentences only.

I would trade places with an art teacher, because I wish I could draw.

To clear up some rumors, are you in a motorcycle gang?

No, but I can ride a motorcycle.

Students, faculty need to stay sustainable

Last year’s Summit on Human Dignity, Renewing our Commitment to Sustainability and Stewardship, was supposed to engage Brophy students in dialogue, possibly encouraging us to adopt new, “green” ways of living.

Eight months have passed since February and for many students the ideas of the last Summit on Human Dignity are now but a faint memory of Eustace Conway, the man who lived out in the forest by himself, and Sustainable Dave, the California man who saved all of his trash in his basement for a whole year.
