Many of Holy Ghost Prep’s best and brightest students in the Classes of 2027, 2028, and 2029 were recognized at an Academic Honors Convocation on August 27 in the Frederico Theater. Seniors Gavin Fleming and Daniel Marchesani (pictured) were among the night's many honorees. Both were presented with the Francis J. Marx ’00 Scholarships.  (photo by Shane Williams '27) 

Third-year head coach Connor Sharp and assistant coach Sean Clifford are both back to lead a Holy Ghost Prep golf program that enters the Philadelphia Catholic League (PCL) in 2026. The move to the PCL will result in the HGP golf program moving from its longtime home of PIAA District One to District 12 this fall. (photo by Jonathan Gilbert)

First-year head coach Chris Abbott, assisted by longtime Holy Ghost Prep teacher Mike Seminack, will usher in a new era of Firebirds’ cross country this fall. The good news is that HGP’s cross-country team returns three PIAA District One top-10 finishers (all 2025 District One medalists) in senior Jack Loveman (first place), sophomore Ben Loveman (third place), and senior Owen Bittmann (ninth place).     (photo by Jonathan Gilbert)
