Stepinac has a new President

A priest, and a Stepinac graduate. Her's a good summary of how my high school is doing.

Thomas Collins becomes Archbishop Stepinac High School's 9th president

The Rev. Thomas Collins, his two brothers and those brothers' five sons are all graduates of Archbishop Stepinac High School.

After he was ordained, Collins — the only one of six siblings to go to seminary — came back to his alma mater in 1995 as a teacher and has stayed there ever since.

His parents, who used to live across the street from the boys Catholic school, have been White Plains residents for 35 years.

So it is no small point of pride for the Collins clan that the family priest was unanimously chosen this month as the school's new president.

"The great excitement of it is that I have a long tradition here," said Collins, 50, who has salt-and-pepper hair, a friendly smile and wears rimless glasses. "Now that you're the president of the school, it makes you feel great that you're going to continue the tradition and yet blaze a new future, move forward."

Love Tom Collins. He often says Mass at our St. Patricks in Armonk.
