Faculty
As of April 2010, the faculty included 130 members, including 4 Marianist Priests and 12 Marianist Brothers. Many of the school administrators maintain teaching roles in the school. There is also a large school staff body consisting of about 70 members. Many members of the Society of Mary have canine companions that often follow them to the classroom or reside in their offices during the day, sometimes cited as a very likable trait of the school. Much of the faculty and school staff are alumni.
Administrators have contributed articles to a diverse range of publications, from the religious Catalyst to the mainstream New York Times. Current faculty include present college faculty, published authors and professional musicians, and former faculty members contributed to works still included in the school's curriculum, from history classes to faith-based clubs. Music produced by student organizations is sold at online music retailers.
In January 2007, a Spanish teacher was arrested and charged with grand larceny, identity theft, and possession of stolen property. The arrest came after a Kellenberg student reported a credit card stolen on December 21, 2006. Nassau County Police Department Detective Sgt. Michael Williams said that the credit card was used to buy more than $450 worth of shirts and one jacket at Macy's in Roosevelt Field Mall.

Famous quotes containing the word faculty:
“Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness the polisher of his sentences. He could afford to lose his Sharp’s rifles, while he retained his faculty of speech,—a Sharp’s rifle of infinitely surer and longer range.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To write well, to have style ... is to paint. The master faculty of style is therefore the visual memory. If a writer does not see what he describes—countrysides and figures, movements and gestures—how could he have a style, that is originality?”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
