Prep Parents Bring Christmas Cheer to Grand & Warren
Two PPA events helped set a festive tone on campus over the past week – the annual PPA Christmas Party last Friday night, and a Faculty and Staff Appreciation Luncheon on Wednesday.
Saint Peter's Prep is a Catholic, Jesuit college preparatory school which seeks to form young men of competence, conscience and compassion. Both enriched and challenged by its diversity, Prep is a community of learners seeking to find God in all things. The academic, athletic, co-curricular, spiritual and service programs aim to foster in students an understanding of the world and the courage to advance the common good.

With Prep's Christmas break set to begin Friday afternoon, students will leave Grand & Warren behind until the new year. At the same time, fourteen juniors and seniors will bid "arrivederci" to their exchange partners from Istituto Gonzaga in Palermo, Sicily, who are concluding their ten-day visit to the United States.
Prep's annual swing through the Sunshine State is set for February 20 and 21, 2018. Save the dates, and get ready to meet Prep's president, Fr. Ken Boller, S.J., and vice president, Jim Horan, ’70, at one of three regional receptions – in Bonita Springs, Venice, and West Palm Beach.
As news of Minkah Fitzpatrick’s Chuck Bednarik Award (National Defensive Player of the Year) and Jim Thorpe Award (Defensive Back of the Year) spread at Grand & Warren, students and faculty were thrilled but not surprised.
