Dear Holy Spirit Prep families,
I hope that your summer is off to a good start.
Plans are well underway for the upcoming school year and we are looking forward to the year ahead. You will continue to receive the Green and Gold on a weekly basis over the Summer months so that you remain informed and you are able to prepare for the school year ahead.
If you have not already done so, I invite you to watch the video below which features an interview that I did with HSP Parent, Ruth Sacco, who has 4 boys at HSP. Ruth asked my thoughts on the following topics:
We hope you'll take the time to engage with these communications and share your thoughts with us as we spend the summer preparing for what we know will be an incredible 2021-2022 school year!
In Christ,
Ed

Dear HSP 10th - 12th grade families in Christ,
I hope you are all well. I wanted to send you a note regarding a new initiative we are currently working on for the summer for a group of High school students. Over the past few years, I had the grace to be able to run a leadership course in Washington DC , where I would bring High Schoolers from around the country to visit political and business leader in our Nation’s capital. This year, because of Covid, providentially, we are not able to have the course in DC. So we began to see if we could start up something here in the Atlanta area. So we began to ask around for speakers, and the response was very positive. We took that as a sign from the Lord to bring the program to HSP.
The Objective of this course is to bring young men and women in front of some business leaders where they will have the opportunity to interact with them. The men and women will be able to share their story about what they did to make it to the position they are in, what attracted them, some of the principles they use to guide their life, and also what role Faith plays in their life.
Venue: We will be staying at Georgia Tech, where we will be commuting as a group to visit the business leaders, either in office, home or other venue.
Dates for the course are June 16-23. Arriving Wednesday (June 16) evening and departing on Wednesday (June 23) midday.
Cost: $900
Other than visiting offices, we will be having a time to plan and run a service activity for some poor immigrant families, and learn classic etiquette.
Some of the speakers that have confirmed their availability:
Kelly Loeffler – Politician
Frank Hanna – CEO of Hannah Investment firm
Orlando Ojeda – President of Full Circle Restoration
Anthony Cabrera – Senior Finance Council for Coke
Kelly Angelo – Treasurer at Coke
Dr Adolph Casal – Psychiatric Childhood Medicine
Dr Grigorian – Neurosurgeon
Rick Kuhlman – Kuhlman Chiropractic Care, Work ethic
Kathleen Magnusson and Sue Nardelli – Etiquette
Erik Gunderson – Primus Executive VP
Dan D’Aniello (virtual visitor from DC) – Co -Founder of Carlyle Group
Please consider joining Fr Juan, Andrea Vargas and I on an unforgettable journey with some of Atlanta’s Catholic Leaders.
