All Business with Mrs. Clack Behind the scenes with Brother Rice staff By Jack Farrar Chieftain Staff Our society tends to aggrandize the famous. The group of people who get left out are those some people refer to as “unsung heroes” or “behind-thescenes individuals” – people who make substantive, yet unrecognized, contributions. Here at Brother Rice, there are a few individuals who work night and day to better the development and success of the school and its students. One of these individuals is Mrs. Clack, who works in the Business Office. Most students probably know who she is, because she handles the tickets for homecoming. Some of you may also remember that she won two cash prizes during our Raffle giveaways last semester. “I’m usually not that lucky,” she said. Mrs. Clack is the Business Office manager and has been working at Brother Rice since 2011. Her department handles the finances going in and out of the school and makes sure everything is accounted for. Mrs. Clack appreciates Brother Rice and enjoys Mrs. Clack the opportunity to provide an essential role in the advancement of the school and its mission. “I really like the diversity that’s in the finance office, and I think a lot of us have that same thing,” she said. “There’s nothing that’s the same thing from one day to the next. “So sometimes we are dealing more with students, sometimes we are deal- ing more with parents. “A lot of it is parent interaction. Just hearing and seeing the inner-workings of the school is interesting.” Regarding the parent interaction, Mrs. Clack says that it involves tuition, scholarships, special events, dress down days, etc. Her tasks vary from month to month, based on the focus in and around the school at that certain time. One fun fact about Mrs. Clack is that both of her sons live in mountain states, Montana and Colorado. On one of her trips out west, she climbed Mount Oberlin in Montana. While she wishes her sons lived closer, she loves going to visit them. As anyone who has had a conversation with Mrs. Clack can tell, she is an extraordinarily kind and hard-working person. She is very proud to work at Brother Rice. She is a true Warrior.
