I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Conlon during CWP. We had a conversation about her adjusting and her demeanor toward Oratory, as well as the impression she has gotten after the first few weeks of being a part of the community. The main thing she emphasized over and over was how much she liked all of the faculty members, as well as how close everybody felt. She also mentioned that she likes the laid-back atmosphere of the school, where academics are taken seriously, independent of teachers having to chase down students to get stuff done. She came to OP from Milburn, where she taught APUSH, as well as Economics. Dr. Conlon is now teaching US History I and Business. She is excited to see more of Oratory Prep and all of the awesome events and activities that our school puts on, like the dodgeball tournament and the rest of spirit week. Overall, the interview was great, and I’m super glad that I got to not only meet but have a conversation with somebody whom I would not necessarily have gotten to know that well otherwise. We welcome Dr. Conlon to OP and are happy to have her be a part of Ram Nation!
