A recent article appeared in The Irish Voice about our efforts to give motivated children in the Bronx a chance to break out of their environment and flourish. This story was written by Debbie McGoldrick who interviewed Chris Gallagher, Class of 1965 and the Governing Board Chairman, about all the exciting things that are happening here at Scanlan. It tells the story of the revival and success of our school thanks to the tireless work of our Governing Board along with the much-needed support of our alumni & friends.
