Holy Cross High School bids farewell to two educators
July 29, 2019 at 12:37 p.m.
Holy Cross High School, Delran, recognized the significant contributions of two faculty members who retired at the end of the school year — Thomas Camp and Patricia Sacks.
Camp, who began teaching at Holy Cross in September 1968, served as the chair of the social studies department, a position he held for the past 15 years. Camp received the Pope John Paul II Award for Excellence in Teaching and Best Practices at this year’s commencement exercises.
Camp, an avid and acclaimed photographer, has taught photography in Holy Cross since 1974, and has taught both film and digital photography.
In addition to teaching, Camp also moderated both the mock trial and debate teams for five years, during which the mock trial team won the Burlington County Championship round. In addition to academics, he also coached the boys and girls tennis teams for 28 years. During that time, the girls’ teams won five championships in Burlington County and the boys won once.
Since 1985, Camp has had 10 shows exhibiting his photography work throughout New Jersey, with the most recent showing held in the Johnson and Johnson Corporate Headquarters in New Brunswick. In his retirement, Camp plans to “devote a lot more time to continue my own photographic work.” He is also developing a website to showcase and sell his photographs.
Of his 44-year teaching career, Camp said: “My heart will always be at Holy Cross.”
Sacks joined the faculty as a religion and theology teacher in October of 2007, but she has been an educator in the Diocese of Trenton since September, 1988.
Sacks was a sixth-grade teacher in Sacred Heart School, Mount Holly. In 1997, she was named principal of Holy Assumption School, Roebling, and then in 2003 was named principal of St. Charles Borromeo School, Cinnaminson. Sacks is committed to Catholic education and said: “Teaching is my love.”
“I love seeing the students ‘get it.’ I’ve truly enjoyed my time at Holy Cross. The teachers, students and administrators are to be commended,”she said. “Holy Cross High School is a family and you belong here.”
In retirement, Sacks is looking forward to relocating to an active, adult community in Delaware, and having more time to do some traveling, playing golf and spending more time reading, playing with her puppy, and pursing other hobbies and interests.
