Br L.P. Reynolds studied in Marino College of Education, at UCC and UCD.  He took his Masters degree at Boston College.   He first came to CBC in 1962 and also spent periods of his professional career in O’Connell School, North Monastery, CBC Monkstown, Mount Sion and Ard Scoil Ris where he was Principal and the driving force behind the building of the new school.  As a teacher in CBC, nothing was impossible to Br Renolds.  He trained the school choir, produced an opera, coached rugby teams and at the same time followed a heavy schedule of work in the school.  He was  Principal of Christian Brothers College from 1984-1994.   He assumed responsibility for the building of the new Secondary College and Preparatory School.  Any pupil who would like to see Br Reynold’s achievements need but look round him.
