Respect for All Persons
Students, faculty, and staff show respect for diverse cultures, beliefs, economic backgrounds, competencies, and abilities of others through clubs, workshops, events, and acts of kindness. At Christian Brothers High School, we continually work to understand and appreciate others and ourselves. Below, is a story about the women ' s basketball team and an act of kindness some fledgling Falcons won't soon forget.
CB's league championship winning women ' s basketball team isn't just amazing on the court, they're also amazing humans We know this, but our larger community got to see it firsthand at a game in January 2023
Second graders from St James School Davis played a Little Dribblers exhibition during halftime at a CB women ' s basketball game Our Falcons not only cheered, but got off the bench and ran up to the girls on the floor and gave them high fives and hugs to celebrate every basket The joy on the girls' faces as they soaked up adoration from their new "big sisters" was undeniable
Dr Bill Iliff '76, a teacher who not only attended the game, but makes a point to attend as many of his students' home games as possible, said, "The young girls from St James may not quite yet understand how talented their new big sisters are at basketball, but they likely will never forget the kindness showed to them that night by our team "
And that is what being a Falcon and the Christian Brothers High School experience is all about! We love the respect our Falcons showed the second grade students, all out of the kindness of their own hearts
After the game, the St. James students stood near the locker room, waiting to give their new favorite players high fives. But once our Falcons saw the young girls, they scooped them up for the sweetest team picture.
