The Brother David S. Baginski, FSC Scholars Program at Central Catholic High School, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Baginski, FSC Scholars Program was created in 2002 by Brother Richard Grzeskiewicz in honor of the beloved teacher and Vice Principal for whom the program is named. Embodied by three related concepts —scholarship, brotherhood, and service it offers an engaging intellectual forum to highly motivated students. These students become part of a community of peers and faculty advisors and meet regularly

On Saturday, the Senior Scholars participated in a ludonarrative decision-making exercise hosted by Mr. Todd Rooney of our English department. The event, based on the popular table-top role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons, presented the students with complex moral and ethical challenges through which they navigated their fictional characters. Following the gaming portion of the event, the scholars then discussed the reasons behind their characters’ choices, thereby opening a dialogue about bias, violence, and duty.

The Junior Scholars took part in their annual service learning trip to Appalachia to learn about the history, culture, and community of Wheeling, WV. Our students volunteered at the Greater Wheeling Soup Kitchen and Grow Ohio Valley, an urban farm seeking to combat food insecurities in Wheeling.
