AT-A-GLANCE

MESSAGE from the Headmaster

As the conversation about masculinity continues to evolve, we at Cathedral School for Boys believe we must continue to define what it means to educate and raise boys. We devote each day to the spirited dialogue, dynamic lessons, and intentional character building that guide each young boy to engage in the way that best fits him, while he simultaneously develops empathy and respect for the world around him. Because Cathedral is here to... raise the bar on raising boys.

I have often thought that the responsibility of any school should be to help students discover and become their very best selves. This is a respon- sibility that Cathedral School takes seriously, and the depth and breadth of our students’ interests and our alumni’s accomplishments stand as the most apparent demonstrations of our capacity to fulfill this obligation. Our efforts toward this end, however, also create demands upon the School. Most directly, they require us to engineer an educational experience that is both comprehensive and exceptional. In addition to an excellent course of study in all core subjects, our boys also engage in an extensive study in art, music, social-emotional learning, and physical education. All boys devote considerable time to service. Our students are exposed to speakers and artists of local and national acclaim. Each student will have the chance to participate in an international trip before he graduates. These opportunities, and others, provide a complete and comprehensive education and allow each student to discover his passions and interests. The quality of our programming is a direct result of the men and women who commit themselves to teaching at Cathedral. I have long maintained that we have the finest staff anywhere, and this decla- ration stems not only from their experience and education, but also from the dedication and passion that they bring to their work. This edition of the Red & Gold , I believe, profiles just some of the people and programs at Cathedral, and the type of opportunities that a Cathedral boy has each day.
