In Honor of Mary Pat
Mary Pat Clarke, a good friend and long time member of the TCS community, has passed. From our earliest beginning, Mary Pat was always an advocate for our school and all of the students in it. She came to know each student throughput the years, offering encouragement and personal support. She brought many political leaders and speakers to the school, developed an co-taught a class, and spoke to the class more times than I can count. She fought for us in zoning hearings, helped resolve conflicts with the city when needed, stood beside us as we worked to improve education and other issues and was just a steady and consistent presence over nearly 5 decades. She will be missed by so many and our life, though not the same without her, is so much better because she was in it....
