Connor Curbs Common Hallway Crime

In addition to brand-new executive chef Padraig McPhillips, CCHS will be adding another student-employee to its payroll. In order to meet the demands of new regulations, rising senior Connor Nichols will be taking on the brand new role of Hall-monitor for the 2024-2025 school year. Due to the anticipated strain placed on teachers by the new policies that will be implemented in the upcoming school year, administration has decided to introduce Connor Nichols as the first official Charlotte Catholic hall monitor. Connor will serve on a trial basis for the first semester and will continue on the condition of his success. 

Juniors have commented in support of this endeavor, demonstrating their pride that one of their own has made it to the top. In an exclusive interview for the Catholic Chronicle, Connor comments, “The monitor's job is like being the Jedi knight of hallways.” He’ll be responsible for maintaining order between class changes, performing uniform checks, and confiscating cell phones. Administration hopes with the addition of student monitors, Ms. Albertson can finally have some peace and remain inside her classroom during the busy class changes without fear of devices remaining in the hands of their owners during school hours. 

Connor was excited to mention “Some of the perks of monitoring include getting to wear a snazzy badge.” While Connor will not be receiving compensation for his efforts, he will get a special little medal and will have the unique authority to recommend detentions to students he deems insubordinate. Though the badge and its authority are alluring, Connor is probably most excited by the fact that this job provides him with a legitimate excuse to carry around a walkie-talkie. Connor tells the Chronicle: “I'm looking forward to finally having a valid reason to wear a utility belt like Batman.”

Depending on the success or failure of this new office after the first semester of the 2024-2025 school year, Administration is considering expanding the program. Applicants would go through a rigorous interview process and write essays declaring their loyalty to the school and their solemn promise of rigid adherence to the student handbook and honor codes.
