Dear friends,
Today after the bell rang at 12:30, marking the end of the the last exam of the season, I wandered out to the quad at the Upper School to see the students. I stopped and spoke to one of our 9th grade boys and asked him, “So are you relieved that it’s over?”
“I’m relieved that the exams are over, but I’m sad because I’ll miss the people during the summer. I really like the people here.”
I know what he means. Every year there is a sense of relief after graduation because there is finally some quiet and life takes a different pace. And yet HSP is family and we don’t want to be away from each other for too long. Well this year, I certainly see this end of the year moment in a different way as I count down the days to my departure from the state of Georgia.
And yet it is not sadness that marks these last moments. Rather it is a deep sense of gratitude.
As I walked to school this morning I noticed the baseball dugout where I had my first Gospel reflection with the 7th grade boys in 2015. There, while chowing down pizzas, we went deep into the meaning of Christ’s message in our lives. That moment served as a springboard to later conversations about generosity before God, making sense out of suffering, and how to pray better. I thank God for the gift of young people hungering for God even if at first they seem to only hunger for pizza.
This morning at Mass in St. Joseph’s Oratory I recalled the countless times that through my priesthood I have called down Bread from Heaven to feed the Lord’s sheep. It is in this chapel where Christ dwells that many students worked out their trials of adolescence, where they fulfilled their penance after Confession, and where even a few made a profession of faith and entered into communion with Church. I thank God for the gift of my priesthood that I have been able to put at the service of His people.
As I look at my agenda for the weekend and beyond I see all the different farewell breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee, and dinner appointments and I think of all the beautiful friendships I’ve made over the years. I’ve also been receiving many thank you cards from students and staff. Those small expressions of gratitude don’t only point to some amount of good that I’ve done over the years, but more often than not they reveal things that I was not even aware of, small things that apparently had a great impact because God used them for His purpose: a homily, a smile, a daily greeting in hallway… Life is certainly made up of these little things. I thank God for the daily routine that allows us to grow in virtue and build Christ-centered relationships.
I don’t know what else to say, but thank you! Thank you! In twenty-nine days I’ll pack my things and make the drive to Durham. I take with me countless memories and friendships that I know will continue. I hope we see each other again at different times. If that were not to happen, well (to quote a card from one of our ninth graders) “I hope to see you in Heaven!”
Pray for me. I’m praying for you.
Your in Christ Jesus,
Fr Juan José Hernández, LC

Our 8th grade students started the day with a Middle School Mass, then went over into the library for a celebration of the accomplishments of our inaugural 8th grade class here on the Lower and Middle School campus. Students were recognized with several awards and parents were in attendance to congratulate them.
Congratulations to all our 8th grade students! We wish you well as you move on to High School.
The Lower and Middle schools had the opportunity to spend some time outdoors today at the Sacred Heart Games. This was led by Fr. Andrew and some of our 8th grade campus leaders. Students organized and led games such as "Pin the heart on Jesus," "Capture the flag" and "Parking Lot Chalk Drawing." It was a great day of activity on a warm spring day!
Congratulations to the following students on being recognized at our High Shool Awards Ceremony on Monday, May 16
Campus Ministry Awards
St. Zita of Lucca was famous for her work with the sick, the poor, and the imprisoned. She was regarded locally as a saint soon after her death; the title was officially given to her in 1696. This award is given to one male and one female student who, like St. Zita, have a servant’s heart. This year’s recipients are: Sophia Napier & Bernadette Grantham
St. Thomas More was not merely a man of great holiness and courage but also one of exceptional talents in all arenas of life. He was a renowned lawyer, philosopher, lover of the arts, and a devoted family man. He also displayed a superb sense of humor. Because of the diversity of St. Thomas’s abilities and achievements, he has been called “A Man for All Seasons”. This award is given to the Upper School student who, like St. Thomas More, demonstrates a commitment to excellence in many different aspects of life. The award is given to one male and one female at the Upper School. This year’s recipients are: Davis Braun & Kaelyn Bannon
St. Francis of Assisi was the son of a wealthy merchant, and he seemed destined for a life of comfort. However, he forsook comfort and the acceptance of his friends in answering God’s call to pursue a life of virtue and service. The St. Francis Award is given to the Upper School student who, like St. Francis of Assisi, places his/her witness to the truth and pursuit of the good before acceptance and popularity. This student’s actions demonstrate the understanding that living according to the Gospel should be an individual’s highest priority. The award is given to one male and one female at the Upper School. This year’s recipients are: Emil Sacco & Lilah Sell
St. Teresa of Calcutta devoted her life to serving the poorest of the poor. She worked long hours in the most unpleasant surroundings. Although Mother Teresa’s commitment to serve the needy was inspiring, it was the joy with which she served that captured the imaginations and hearts of all who met her. The Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Award is given to the Upper School student who, like Mother Teresa, is always there to offer help and does so with a smile that communicates the privilege of serving one in need. The award is given to one male and one female at the Upper School. This year’s recipients are: Issac Olguin & Sophia Raus
St. Edith Stein was born into an observant Jewish family, but by her teenage years she had become an atheist. However, an avid philosopher, she continued to study the works of brilliant thinkers including saints of the Catholic Church. Eventually, her humble search for the truth led her to become Catholic herself as she joined the Carmelite order, where she took the name Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. The award is given to the Upper School students who demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm and love for learning and an openness to follow the truth wherever it might lead. The award is given to one male and one female at the Upper School. This year’s recipients are: Pierce Hughey & Mary Anna Cumbie
The Newcomer Award is given to those students who, in their first year at the Upper School, made the most positive impact on their class and on our campus. The award winners are determined by a vote of the teachers on the basis of the students’ academic, social, athletic, artistic, or other general contributions to Upper School life. The Newcomer Award is bestowed on one male and one female Upper School student. The award is given to one male and one female at the Upper School. This year’s recipients are: Andrew Wingate & Caroline Castellaw
Academic Gold Awards
Academic Gold Medals are awarded by academic departments in the Upper School to one exemplary student in each department within each grade. The gold medal is awarded to the student who has earned a grade of 90 or higher for the year and whom the department believes best exemplifies a love of the discipline, a strong work ethic, and any additional merits that the student brings to the study of the academic discipline. The gold medal ranks among the highest academic honors a student can earn in the Upper School.
