Before signing off, we want to thank many of the generous people who have put in so much effort to make this program possible: Fr. Sebastian brought his kind spirit, his generous heart, and — best of all — Our Lord’s saving sacraments! Program Director Brian Dragoo, Director of Admissions Jon Daly, and the Admissions team worked many a long hour to make to the program a joy both inside the classroom and out. And how can we ever begin to thank our amazing group of prefects for continually going above and beyond to share the college they love?
We would also like to take a moment to thank the TAC students who have made this blog possible: Our writer, Mary Albright (CA'27), who has steadfastly provided her eloquent twice-daily updates; our photographer, Abigail DeKroon (CA'27), who has filled each day’s posts with beautiful photos; and our web assistant, Elizabeth Doylend (NE'26), who has painstakingly constructed the posts and slideshows.
Of course, neither the blog nor the program itself would be possible without the students — who sacrificed two weeks of precious summer vacation to return to the classroom for a firsthand experience of Catholic liberal education — and their parents, who entrusted them to the College’s care. Thank you!
Though we hope to welcome many of these thoughtful and openhearted young students back to campus in the year to come, it has been our great joy to share this too-short time with them, regardless! We pray for their safe travels home and ask God for His continued blessings upon the students of the 2025 California Great Books High School Program.
Please keep us in your prayers as we pray for you!
