Meet the Philosophy Department

Mr. Brian Dorrian - Chairperson

I am originally from New York, with six years of experience dedicated to fostering a love for critical thinking and promoting the Catholic intellectual tradition. To me, teaching in a Catholic school is more than just a career—it’s a vocation, a calling to guide young minds in both faith and reason. I’m passionate about creating a classroom environment where students are encouraged to ask deep questions, think critically, and explore the profound truths of our faith. My goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning, grounded in the wisdom of the Church and the timeless teachings of the Catholic tradition.
