Catholic High celebrates Brother Sanker on 80th birthday

Brother Richard Sanker’s 80th birthday Jan. 11 was a chance for Catholic High staff and students in Little Rock to stop and honor the school counselor. On Jan. 8, the student body had cupcakes during lunch, and a reception was held after school for the faculty and alumni. A painting of Brother Richard with his dog Titus, who died unexpectedly in 2023, was created by alumnus Barry Thomas and presented to the Franciscan brother. The student body received purple T-shirts with the image on the back. Included are the phrases “favorite fan, devoted teacher, faithful servant, our brother.”
