The old motto, “Ever to Excel” is being replaced with a new updated version. Effective August 12, the schools motto will ”The only principal that matters is that upon which interest is paid.” For. William Leahy, the school’s president, said that the new, updated motto was intended to reflect the school’s more current values. According to Leahy, “Back in the old days, this institution tried to reflect Catholic social teachings and encourage students to reach for the stars. But, you know, since we get tons of cash for sending our football team to COVID hotspots, and we have no intention of giving up one penny, no matter how risky it is, we decided to change our motto to reflect our true values. This one does it”. According the a BC spokesperson, other mottos considered included, Show Me The Money, Anything for a Buck, and We’ve Established What We Are, Now We’re Just Dickering About Price. The latter motto had some support among faculty since it was based on a comment by a famous author, But the spokesman said The Principal one was selected because it sounded best in Latin. [/QUOTE]
