Dear HGP families,
Central to who we are as a Spiritan school are our Core Components. The first among that list of seven is "being open to the Spirit." The Spirit, of course, is the Holy Spirit and being open, in its simplest terms, means to welcome God's call to us. Today, part of God's call to us is to continue to strengthen and build our Holy Ghost Prep community, even in these most difficult of circumstances.
We have been listening carefully, reflecting honestly, and implementing intentionally to educate and support your sons in a truly Spiritan way. To meet your sons where they are, we are two-plus weeks into Ghost Online, with the last three days as version 2.0. Throughout, the feedback remains largely positive. The COVID-19 pandemic has obviously affected each member of the Holy Ghost Prep family, but all of us have successfully risen to the occasion—individually and as a community—showing our collective strength and resiliency in these uncertain times.
None of this has been easy and not without a few bumps, and yet it is a credit to this community to have accomplished so much, so quickly. We truly believe that it is because we are "open to the Spirit."
We have just a couple quick reminders:
9:00-9:30 a.m. Language/Computer Science 9:30-10:00 a.m. English 10-11:30 a.m. Psychology/Government & Pol/Economics/European History/U.S. History 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Calc AB/Calc BC/Statistics 1-2:30 p.m. Biology/Chemistry/Physics
Lunch Time Chats Noon-1 p.m. Peer Ministry Lunch Chat Noon-1 p.m. College Guidance Lunch Chat with Seniors
Club/Team Meetings 2:30-3:30 p.m. Various Club/Team Meetings
We appreciate you being "open to the Spirit" as we all adapt to a new way of being a community together. Please stay connected to other members of the Ghost family. Don't hesitate to reach out to faculty or staff with any questions or concerns. The entire HGP team is working—even if not on campus—and are available to support you. We know they'd love to hear from you.
In One Heart and One Mind,
Gregory J. Geruson '79 President
