Dear Hoban Family,

In late November, I had the opportunity to spend time with our Holy Cross educators during a professional development session. Despite no longer having a classroom of my own, I still enjoy continued engagement with the vital aspects of teaching and learning, the cornerstones of our commitment to academic achievement for all students. What started as a seemingly ordinary late fall morning quickly became a valuable and inspiring reminder of the power of collaboration and community. While I am admittedly biased, I truly believe that our Holy Cross educators represent the pinnacle of their craft. And on that November morning, my opinion of their excellence continued to grow.

Ben Rossi, a member of our theology department, opened the session with an eloquent and powerful reflection that focused on the self-imposed limits we so often arbitrarily set for ourselves. He reminded our teaching staff that taking risks, specifically the risk of hope, serves as an effective antidote to the acceptance of mediocrity. Ben’s message set a perfect tone for the morning’s work.

Catherine Perrow expertly organized small and whole group discussions centered on Blessed Basil Moreau’s manuscript for educators, Christian Education. Moreau, the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, offers timeless wisdom in the work, first published in 1856. The powerful impact for me, however, was the way Hoban Holy Cross educators connected to the text, quickly citing specific interactions that occur in our hallways and classrooms. I sat, enthused and motivated, as I listened to their stories of zeal, vigilance, patience and connectedness – all qualities and characteristics that Moreau intrinsically understood as critical to educating the heart and the mind.

It is ironic that, in the world of education, the adage often rings true, “Everything has changed, and nothing has changed at all.” Our educators’ dialogue on the inherent connectivity of Christian Education, even in our social media-driven, content-centered, technologically-advanced society, cemented in my mind the foundations of our work here at Hoban. While our Holy Cross educators most certainly prepare students for the rigors of the 21st century, they do so while embedding the timeless concepts that have made Hoban great for nearly 75 years. We are primed and ready for an exciting 2023, filled with promise and excitement. We hope you will continue to walk with us on this journey.

God

Bless and Go Knights!
