The timing could not have been worse for Archbishop Carroll High School.
Thursday was graduation day, as the archdiocesan school sent 289 graduates on their way.
We covered their graduation, as we will attempt to do every local high school, with a story and array of photos.
Unfortunately, that was not the only story tied to Carroll that was in that day's newspaper.
Just a few pages away was the saga of still another Carroll employee facing criminal charges connected to inappropriate conduct with a student.
Christopher Serpentine was the music director at the school. He's now free on bail after being arraigned on several counts of institutional sexual assault.
And he's not the first. His arrest comes just a few weeks after another Carroll teacher, Jeremiah Triplett, was arrested on similar charges, connected to inappropriate contact with a female student.
I guess in the long run it doesn't make a lot of difference. But it's a shame that the arrest came down on the same day as the Carroll commencement.
We covered them both.
That's what we do.
