President's Message

ACHIEVEMENT COMMUNITY ACCESS

Ask any member of the Hoban family to describe the impactful cornerstones of their Hoban experience and I am certain that their response will include one of the following pillars in some shape or fashion: achievement, community and access. It is for this reason that they became the bedrock tenets of Every Knight, Every Day, Hoban’s newest capital campaign.

Throughout my first year as president, I have spent a great deal of time engaged in hundreds of conversations with students, parents and alumni on a wide range of topics. I have found that, inevitably, most of these conversations quickly center to a discussion surrounding Hoban’s commitment to the highest levels of academic achievement, the sense of family and community embedded in our school culture and the incredible scholarship opportunities that make Hoban a viable option for all of those interested in a Holy Cross education.

Achievement. Because the world needs dreamers, critical thinkers and problem solvers who can use their hearts as well as their minds.

Community. Because there is no nobler cause than the cause of community and togetherness.

Access. Because it is our obligation to model selfless giving to the world.

In the pages of this Hoban Magazine issue, our stakeholders will undoubtedly witness a compelling call to action. Our commitment to Hoban’s time-honored traditions is evident. Now is the time to lead in the advancement of a 21st-century facility, provide cutting-edge opportunities for students and Holy Cross educators and create a transformative environment that will separate us from all others. The Every Knight, Every Day campaign will see us upgrade and revitalize Hoban’s classrooms, construct a multi-purpose student center, wellness and cafeteria space and enhance the endowment fund. It’s impact will be holistic, universal and far-reaching.

I ask that you join me in honoring Blessed Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, in his challenge to constantly “move forward with a burning desire.”

Thank you to the many incredible Knights who have already chosen to support our campaign – your faith in the Hoban mission is truly inspiring.

God Bless and Go Knights!
