It is the end of the school day at St. Agnes Cathedral School, and things are hardly quiet. The sounds of the alphabet and algebra have given way to the clicking of cameras in the computer room, the whirring of an electric mixer in the cafeteria, and an occasional shout of “checkmate” from the library.
