Review of Catholic Education underway in American Samoa

Marist Brothers Donald Texeiria and Kevin O’Malley are in American Samoa to conduct an assessment of the local Catholic school system.

The review includes classrooms, campus grounds, and the curriculum.

They have been asked to undertake this review by the Bishop of Pago Pago, Peter Brown.

Both of the Brothers have a long association with Catholic education in the Samoas.

Some years ago, Catholic schools in American Samoa were single sex schools.

After the departure of the Brothers and Sisters who oversaw and operated the schools, the schools combined and became co-ed.

Samoa News reports that some members of the local community are saying they are hopeful that Brothers and Sisters will return to take over the reins for the Catholic schools.
