Diane David is chair of the anniversary committee. “It’s been a wonderful experience so far with strong and dedicated committee members,” Diane told me via email.

Tom Lippi told me in an email interview that he has “probably been thinking about becoming a teacher for most of my life.” In just a few weeks, Tom retires after 43 years at Marin Catholic High School, and that doesn’t count the four years he was a student there long ago. Fully from Marin, Tom graduated from St. Rita School, Fairfax in 1965 and Marin Catholic in 1969. -
Teresa Anthony told me that among the best moments of her 44-year teaching and school leadership career have been the “hugs, smiles and cards from the children”; something I’m sure the beloved educator will not have to give up in retirement. Teresa steps down after 28 years as principal of Our Lady of Mount Carmel School in Redwood City at the end of this school year. -
