Out of the entire faculty at the Academy of the Holy Names, one staff member stands out among the rest. Sister Ann Reagan has been at the Academy for many years, and continues to make the Academy a better place. This year, she assumed the responsibility of becoming the Interim Principal of the Academy. Working as a principal can be hard, yet Sister Ann admits she enjoys the power and interacting with students. Achona got the chance to ask Sr. Ann about her daily duties as principal, and here is what she shared:
