I disagree Marist and cost of tuition have more to do with it then Lwe. PC used to dominate oak forest ,Tinley park, Orland park and home glen. Even used to pull alot of kids from palos. When Marist went coed they lost alot of that. Plus the cost of tuition is too expensive for a number of the regular income families that used to send there kids to catholic high school.You Catholic league guys really do eat your own. So from what I am reading, you think that these private schools offer "incentives" to attend their school?
Frankly, PC, I think Provi started to go downhill when:
1. One of the local public schools showed that you can compete for a title without paying tuition, then
2. PC and LWE met with LWE winning each game
3. The little problem you had with the previous president...
4 The longtime coach saw the writing on the wall and decided to retire.
YesLet me ask you one follow-up question: were they taking classes which were predominantly Honors and AP?
I'm guessing yes.
Congratulations on their success.

While PC was still in its prime Lincoln way won a 6a title. Plus lockport won back to back titles. So I feel that has minimal impact on pc.You Catholic league guys really do eat your own. So from what I am reading, you think that these private schools offer "incentives" to attend their school?

Incentives, call it what you will.Correct on all points
It's a good thing public schools' enrollment is not dependent on the conduct and integrity of their leadership eh? I recall you touting the abilities and financial acumen of one Lawrence Wylie on this site. How's that lookin' now?You Catholic league guys really do eat your own.

So therein might lie the dissonance in our respective evaluations of the curriculum and faculty.
True and agreeSo therein might lie the dissonance in our respective evaluations of the curriculum and faculty.
I know kids in the Honors track who did very well and had great teachers. Not across the board but definitely nothing to be upset by. I also know kids who were NOT in Honors classes. Public school would have served them better.
The only families for whom this is a decision typically have kids that aren't going to get it done no matter which way they go.Tough decision for many "football families" residing in the LWE attendance area:
- Send a son tuition-free to academically top-notch D210, but not necessarily have a great shot at getting on the field at the varsity level, or
- Pay lots of money to attend a local, smaller playoff-class private school with an increased chance to compete for a starting varsity position.

From what I read, yes. It was his phone that mysteriously "disappeared".Tell me, did they ever find McGrath?
The sad truth is that a mailbox was kept at the school and anyone so inclined was encouraged to drop off cards and letters of sympathy and support for McGrath which the new President assured would be delivered to the supposedly AWOL McGrath. Just another part of the cover-up they continue to perpetrate on their own and one of the main reasons why the number of their own is dwindling.From what I read, yes. It was his phone that mysteriously "disappeared".

Shameful.It was more than his phone that disappeared...

Time to move on!
Not sure what you want me to say. The Pc community is moving forward. The past has been bitter.Really? I dont think I'm going to say anymore lest I get in trouble with Edgy here. Suffice it to say i strongly disagree with you!
Your right Pc Dad. Can't fix the past but can improve the present and the future. You are personally involved with the admin of the school so your words and thoughts mean a lot more to me than the naysayers.Not sure what you want me to say. The Pc community is moving forward.

Merk was put in tough scenario and he is doing well with support of parents and the Augustinians. Time will heal.Your right Pc Dad. Can't fix the past but can improve the present and the future.

Heal? Stop accepting cards and letters and promising to forward them to a guy who we’ll never really know if he’s guilty of anything. Despite him acting more guilty than OJ did. I’d start there.Merk was put in tough scenario and he is doing well with support of parents and the Augustinians. Time will heal.
And now.....back to high school football...,,Heal? Stop accepting cards and letters and promising to forward them to a guy who we’ll never really know if he’s guilty of anything. Despite him acting more guilty than OJ did. I’d start there.

Yes I think money is the biggest decision maker for parents when deciding what school to send their son an daughter to. All the local catholic school reputations speak for themselves and they are all excellent. Yet they have all had incidents that you would think would hurt their enrollment but never really do because the schools are bigger then one incident. Mt carmel had an athelete die from heat in the late 90's. But that never effected there enrollment. Marist 2 years ago had the racist text message group chat. St rita had a shot out on the baseball field between cops and a drug dealer. Br rice had the infamous buckwheat incident.Oh? You don't want to tell us more about how neighboring schools give more money and THAT's why we're seeing disparity in numbers?

I meant to say behind the baseball field . And I know that had nothing to do with st rita students but it was a black eye for them for a little bit.The shooting occurred outside the McDonald's restaurant at 79th Street and South Western Avenue, next to the school.

Edgy, please flush.....Seems like this thread has taken a turn in the wrong direction.....
From my understanding,a lot of football hopfulls would have to meet mc fag before they committed to go there. ,I'm sure he turned away dozens of kids and parents!While PC was still in its prime Lincoln way won a 6a title. Plus lockport won back to back titles. So I feel that has minimal impact on pc.
This post should do it! Flush away! : )From my understanding,a lot of football hopfulls would have to meet mc fag before they committed to go there. ,I'm sure he turned away dozens of kids and parents!
Every time Catholic Hs football comes up in conversation about scholarships and money,so much denial and anger is brought up.Chill out.
