“Crespi had a great impact on
my life, helped prepare me for college and taught me many
lessons that have served me
well in adulthood. I was very
fortunate to be part of the Class of 1980 that had tremendous
camaraderie and remains close
today. Being in a single-sex
environment allowed me to focus on becoming a better student
Mr. Carrabino replied, “I had been talking to
and athlete and develop close friendships. I
desire to grow and improve the school by attract-
meant to work hard, be a good teammate and
Dr. Foersch about his vision for Crespi and his
loved Crespi’s school spirit, and learned what it
ing more top, well-rounded students. It became
represent your school and family well at all
clear that financial aid was a critical resource
needed today. Catholic schools do a tremendous
job educating America’s youth and provide great value to families. I am fortunate that I am in a position to help, so Dr. Foersch and I worked
together to formulate a program that assists him in achieving his strategic goals. I thought that adding an incentive for others in the Crespi
community to participate might excite some to share in this vision.”
Mr. Carrabino is an example of Celt zeal and
success. During his time at Crespi, he was a top scholar and basketball player, graduating as Salutatorian for the Class of 1980. He was
captain of the basketball team and earned All-
Del Rey League and All-CIF honors and finished
times. I wouldn’t trade my high school experCrespi Carmelite High School has a long-standing history of shaping and forming leaders in our world, and by participating in this Challenge, you too can be a leader and pave the way for the success of future Celts.
