| A Note from the Headmaster
Hello Parents,
Welcome back! Our seniors have been making memories in Washington D.C.; I have seen a plethora of pictures that make the heart swell with joy. With nearly seventy fewer students, the campus does not feel so tight with all the hustle and bustle.
As we start our last quarter, can you remind your child of the thematic goal for the year-Vision? I asked the student body to consider what they envisioned for this school year back in August. What did they want to see in themselves, as a person, by the end of the school year? We can tend to become complacent, tired, and lose sight of the goals we set. Quarter 4 will go much faster than we think; it is important for students to remember to run strong, finish strong. This is not for the sake of letter grades or promoting but for the sake of personal growth and maturing in virtue. Ask them about what they envisioned; have they accomplished it yet, and what will it take to finish well? I hope it lends itself to fruitful conversation!
Enjoy the weekend,
Mr. Navarrette
Headmaster
Mural Project 2025-2030
In celebration of the 250th Anniversary of American Independence in 2026, Glendale Prep will be painting a mural in the middle hallway also known as the 700s to hail the United States’ greatest achievements and our hope for the future. Juniors and seniors will have the initial meeting this week, but this is an ongoing multi-year project so please let Mrs. Mure or Mr. Martin know if you are interested in planning or painting a piece of our own GP history.
