Paul Carty was recently honored for his 20th year as principal of the all-boys Catholic Stepinac High School in White Plains.
More than $58,000 were raised, which will be used to transform the existing library at the school into the new Mahoney Library and Learning Commons, at a fundraising event sponsored by the Crusaders Parents”™ Association.
Reflecting on his 20th milestone, Carty said, “It has been a complete privilege to work in a school that creates a nurturing and challenging environment for its students, has such a dedicated and creative faculty and staff and enjoys the support of parents, alumni and benefactors.”
Born and raised in the Bronx where he and his family live, Carty obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from The College of New Rochelle and Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees from Fordham University.
He joined the faculty of Stepinac in 1994 as a religion teacher and campus minister and has continued to teach religion since he became principal 20 years ago.
During his tenure, Stepinac earned a reputation as the standard bearer of curriculum innovation and a pioneer in advanced real-world learning technologies to provide students with the skills they need to be globally competitive at college and in their future careers.
In 2010, Carty was the first high school principal to receive the Sapienta et Doctrina Award from Fordham University, which honors individuals for their work in religious education, pastoral counseling, youth ministry, social justice, young adult ministry, parish ministry and spiritual direction.
Carty was also selected for inclusion in the Trademark Business Leaders of America Honors registry and cited for “demonstrating dedication, leadership and professional excellence.”
