Police: Woman Removed From Holy Name School Had GPS Ankle Bracelet, Spoke of Stalking Incident

The following article is based on a Boston Police report.

  A Boston Police report about a woman wearing a GPS ankle monitoring bracelet removed from the Holy Name School provided more details about an incident that prompted the school's principal to send out a letter to parents. On Jan. 10, around 1:52 p.m., a school day, Boston Police responded to a 911 call indicating a "female entered into the school building and was now wandering around" according to a Boston Police report. Police were able to locate the woman, Kathleen Kearney, 45, of Canton, Mass., who appeared confused, according to police. Kearney was wearing a GPS ankle monitoring bracelet for stalking former Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein at his Illinois home - but the GPS device was not seen by anyone at Holy Name at first. …

Suspect Removed from Holy Name School Stalked Theo Epstein

Kathleen Kearney came unannounced to Holy Name on Jan. 10, while wearing a GPS monitoring bracelet.

  The female suspect who had to be removed from the Holy Name School after showing up unannounced, is also a suspect in stalking former Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein. Holy Name School Principal Lynne Workman sent out an email about the incident, in which Kathleen Kearney, showed up unannounced, to discuss a volunteer librarian position. At some point she wandered off into the building, and school officials called 911 for Boston Police and medical help. She was found shortly after and no students were ever in danger. The incident was enough for Cook County authorities in Illinois to notify Epstein on Jan. 10 about Kearney's “location was unknown” and that “he would be informed when alerts have been cleared,” court records show, …

Holy Name Principal Letter to Parents About Incident at School

The following is an email sent out by Holy Name School Principal Lynne Workman about an unexpected visit by the Boston Police and EMTs.

  The following is an email sent by Holy Name School Principal Lynne Workman to parents. Some Patch readers asked about why there were Boston Police at the school that day.    Dear Holy Name Parents, On Thursday, January 10, 2013, an applicant for a volunteer librarian position unexpectedly arrived at the school for further discussion. During the course of her visit she asked for medical assistance but then left her assigned waiting area without authorization. It was determined for these two reasons that we would call 911. The EMT's and the police arrived and took her by ambulance to a local hospital. We are very grateful for the prompt response of the EMT's and Boston Police. The event was very brief and all children were safe. Sincerely…

Discuss: St. Theresa's vs. Holy Name

Both local Catholic schools provide good educations, but what are the differences between the two? Classroom sizes, cafeterias, athletics, teachers and more.

  For many parents, the overarching theme for their child's elementary school education is: how will their child get into the Boston Latin School? Let's not make any bones about it.  We all know the preference is to get your son or daughter into one of the public West Roxbury neighborhood schools: Kilmer, Lyndon, Beethoven or Ohrenberger. If the Boston Public Schools school assignment lottery lands your progeny outside of West Roxbury then many parents elect to send their child to either one, of two local Catholic schools: Holy Name or St. Theresa's.  Both schools are celebrated for their Catholic school educations, but what is the difference between the two? Are there differences? Both schools send oodles of students to Boston Latin …

Holy Name has the highest success rate in students accepted to Private Schools, Boston Latin and the other exam schools! Thank…   more ›

Boston Bruins mascot Blades visited the school on Friday. Students also earned a visit from a Bruins player, to be named later.

Holy Name School students emerged as champions of Cradles to Crayons's Boston Bruins Pajama Drive. As a reward, they'll be visited by another champion, this one of the Stanley Cup variety.

Sen. Scott Brown Learns About Bees; Talks Ayla's Band and Insider Trading Bill

US Senator Scott Brown read a book to kids at the Beethoven, stopped off at the Holy Name, Century 21, and Roche Bros.

  US Senator Scott Brown enjoyed a whirlwind tour of West Roxbury this morning. He learned about bees at the Beethoven, offered condolences to Mayor White's family, stopped off at Holy Name and even did a little shopping at Roche Bros. Starting at the Beethoven School, Brown donned his famous brown jacket, and was met by a throng of television reporters, who pelted him with questions about his daughter's band being paid to play at his campaign events. Brown preferred to talk about last night's passing of a US Senate bill banning insider trading by Congress. Inside the school several eighth-graders from the Ohrenberger School, the Beethoven's feeder school, asked Brown to come to their school and give them a civics lesson. Brown shook hands…
