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:
“Reason is man’s faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man’s ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man’s instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man’s instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“If we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter. He has a heart capable of mirth, and naturally disposed to it.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“Where is he who seeing a thousand men useless and unhappy, and making the whole region forlorn by their inaction, and conscious himself of possessing the faculty they want, does not hear his call to go and be their king?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
