Dallas senior scores perfect 800 on SAT verbal exam BY TIMOTHY J. RAUB Post Staff DALLAS TWP. — John Gilli- gan is glad that Dallas High School English teacher John McCarthy made him look up his green stamps. Gilligan was honored at the January 14 Dallas School Board meeting after he received an 800 on his verbal portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). “Mr. McCarthy used to make us look up ‘Green Stamps,’ which were words that come up on the SATs,” said Gilligan. “I remembered a lot of them when I was taking the test. It was a real big help for me.” Gilligan has been taking the SATs since seventh grade, and Dallas High School guidance counselor Jack Wolensky said Gilligan’s accomplishment was the first he could remember in his time at the high school. “We have had many students get a perfect score on the math portion of the test, but this is the first time that I can remem- ber that a student has received an 800 in the verbal,” said Wolensky. Gilligan received a 720 on his math portion for an overall score of 1520 out of a possible 1600. Gilligan said he plans to at- tend the United States Naval Academy upon graduation from Dallas. In other school board busi- ness, Paul Degillio, of Reynolds Construction Management Inc., told the school board the the overall construction of the addi- tion to the Dallas Middle School is pretty much on schedule. The work is going as planned, with the exception of the new locker rooms, which has seen problems with the concrete. “The progress of the addition is 22 percent complete,” said Degillio. “The pool and class- rooms are right on schedule, but the locker rooms are slightly be- hind, because of problems with the concrete slab.” The new natatorium, which will house the school district's new pool, is also about a week behind. Degillio said that the roof will be completed in about two to three weeks, and at that time, concrete will be poured in the addition. McGrady named deputy superintendent at SCI-Dallas Superintendent Thomas Lavan announces James J. McGrady as Deputy Superintendent for Facil- ity Management at SCI-Dallas. McGrady’s responsibilities in- clude overseeing the security, maintenance, and fire & safety aspects of the institution's daily operation. McGrady began his corrections career in 1982 as a correctional officer at SCI-Dallas. While at SCI-Dallas he was promoted to sergeant in 1986, and in 1988 was promoted to lieutenant. As a lieutenant, he held positions as shift lieutenant, training lieu- tenant, and emergency prepared- ness coordinator. In 1992, he was promoted to captain and served as shift commander. He has been a member of vari- ous Department of Corrections committees, some which include Technology Transfer Committee, Automated Inmate Telephone System Training Committee, In- mate Transportation Committee and CC TV Camera Committee. In addition, McGrady has been a member of numerous policy de- velopment committees through his career. McGrady received commenda- tions in 1991 for work in emer- gency preparedness, policy and procedure development. He was selected as SCI-Mahonoy's Em- ployee of the Year in 1996 and was the recipient of the Depart- ment of Corrections Outstanding Performance Award in 1997. DHS raises money for charity Christmas was the season for giving, and Dallas Senior High School did it all the way. Throughout November and December there were a variety of charity drives to benefit people from Dallas to Afghanistan. In early November, the PTSO held a coat drive for a week in the front of the school. During the month of December, Stu- dent Council held a holiday food drive, the Diversity club spon- sored a blanket drive for Afghanistan refugees, and the entire school collected gifts for Toys for Tots and money to donate to the Ronald McDonald fund. All were a great success. Dozens of blan- kets and toys were collected, a 1/2 ton of imperishable foods were distributed throughout the community, and over $400,000 was do- nated to needy families and children.
