It was a proud day at Cabrini High School as we honored the newest members of our National Honor Society (NHS). Surrounded by faculty, parents, and peers for their dedication to scholarship, service, leadership, and character—cornerstones of a Cabrinian education. Each inductee received her official NHS pin, a certificate, and Cabrini’s signature yellow rose, a symbolic nod to the rose she will carry at graduation. And, in true Cabrini spirit, Ms. Natalie, our beloved front office manager, added her personal touch to the occasion by baking cupcakes for the reception, making the afternoon even sweeter.
…Embracing Lasting Connections
From recognizing academic achievement to embracing the joy of community, Cabrini has always been a place where students and faculty share a deep and lasting connection, something alumnae often reflect on as one of the most impactful aspects of their time as a student. This special bond was on full display during our recent “Underground Faculty Spirit Week,” when faculty members surprised students each day with creative, playful themes. From Green Day to Wacky Tacky Day, “Anything but a coffee cup or water bottle,” to Inside Out Day, the faculty kept everyone guessing.
What made it even more memorable? Spirit Week was never actually for the students; it was just for the faculty, and the faculty never let on that it was happening! The fun (and the running joke) came from watching students try to figure out what was going on. Their puzzled looks and whispered debates were all part of the silliness, and the faculty’s commitment to keeping the secret made it that much more hilarious. It was a week filled with laughter, reinforcing that the Cabrini experience extends far beyond academics. It’s about building relationships, creating joy, and making memories that last a lifetime—the very essence of what it means to be a Crescent.
