BENNINGTON â Few people have worked at the same place their entire career. David Estes, who has just retired as principal of The School of Sacred Heart St. Francis de Sales, is one of them.
His 42-year career at the school began right after graduating from North Adams State College in 1979. He taught for several years and then was appointed principal in 1987, succeeding Sister Ellen Therese Barry. Estes was the longest-serving Catholic School principal in the Diocese of Burlington, which consists of the whole state of Vermont.
âItâs been an enjoyable experience. I love the school. The school has been a part of my life for most of my life. And weâve grown. When I started here there were 91 students, now weâre at 198 students,â he said. âWeâve added classes throughout my tenure. We added preschool. We brought back seventh and eighth grade.â
Vandals earlier this month left graffiti at St. Edward s University that included anti-Semitic and xenophobic messages on the doors of multiple individual student dorm rooms, university officials said.
Gwendolyn Schuler, a university spokeswoman, said officials were notified the morning of Feb. 3 of the graffiti on the doors of multiple residents at on-campus dormitory Basil Moreau Hall.
University officials have not specified what messages or images were in the graffiti, other than that they were offensive, anti-Semitic and xenophobic.
Schuler said the graffiti was cleaned up after staff members took photos of it for the university s police department.
She said authorities do not have any security footage of the vandalism because it did not occur in the common area of the dormitory.
