Dear Gibbons Community,

Thank you for taking the time to read this issue of Gibbons Magazine. We are excited to share some of the happenings and goings-on here on campus. It has been a tremendous year; we are very blessed and have much to celebrate.

We were excited to welcome our full-time chaplain, Father Luke Rawicki, this fall. Fr. Luke has made an indelible mark on Gibbons already. He celebrates daily Mass, teaches a course, and profoundly energizes our spiritual life program. You can find Fr. Luke at games, plays, concerts, and running with the cross country team. He has been a fantastic addition to Cardinal Gibbons.

We have made significant progress on our strategic plan, specifically in Catholic identity, academics, health and wellness, and community impact. In addition, we have crafted an Academic Philosophy and a Portrait of a Learner that closely aligns with our mission. Next, we are embarking on a campus master plan that will help us to envision the future of our current spaces and future facilities.

The next time you are on campus, we encourage you to spend some time in our Spiritual Life Center, located in the front lobby in the heart of the school, and check out the new Student Lounge, which you can find right outside our Deans of Students offices. These spaces constantly remind us of our two greatest priorities: our faith and our students.

We continue to be a Catholic school strongly rooted in our core values of faith, service, and leadership. We are committed to continuing to evolve so we can stay the best possible school for our current and future students: faith-filled, safe, and joyful.

Please enjoy the pages that follow and learn about some of the amazing accomplishments of our students, educators, and alums.

Jeff Bell, Head of School
