Legendary Learning Specialist Fran Morano reflects on the start of her career at Rectory. "It is a privilege to work in an environment where one has the camaraderie and support of so many dedicated people. But perhaps the greatest reward of all is the feeling of making a contribution to the learning experience of so many young people."
