Hawk Happenings
Form I Construction Visit
This week, Fr. Christopher walked with his Form I students through the former art and music rooms, now cleared and ready for demolition. The boys studied blueprints and caught a glimpse of what’s next. A new Performing Arts Center, coming soon!
Book Curling
Librarian Nancy McGinnis gives the boys a choice: return your books or return your books and play Book Curling. The boys slide their books, aim for glory, and compete for the ultimate prize… candy.
Beware the Ides of Form I
In Form I Social Studies, fifth graders were introduced to the life of Julius Caesar. Three students claimed to be the real Caesar, but only one was telling the truth. The other two were imposters. Using clues from each presentation, the rest of the class had to decide who was authentic.
Clean Water Supplies
Students in Forms VI and VII packed clean water supplies, including water bottles and iodine tablets, along with hygiene products such as soap and hand sanitizer, to be sent to communities around the world where access to clean water is limited.
MLK Day of Service
Our Upper School students, faculty, and staff served across Dallas County for our MLK Day of Service.
Work of Heart
Colleagues of Dr. Renee Phillips, a counselor at Cistercian Preparatory School, refer to her as a generous individual who graciously offers her time and compassion.
Christmas Concert
Forms I and II shared their Christmas Concert with our community. Thank you to Mr. Lewis and the boys for a wonderful evening of music.
Seussical Jr.
Highlights from our Middle School production of Seussical Jr. With our biggest cast yet, 40 students came together to bring the stories of Dr. Seuss to life on stage.
Aviation Pioneer Steven Udvar-Hazy
A group of Cistercian seniors attended a special talk with aviation pioneer Steven Udvar-Hazy at Circle T Ranch in Westlake. Through our partnership with the Junior World Affairs Council, students had a unique opportunity to hear firsthand from one of the leaders who helped shape the modern aviation industry.
‘The Lord is with you’
Gabriel is not the first messenger of the LORD to greet someone with the phrase “The LORD is with you” (Lk 1:28). An anonymous angel hails Gideon, a young man from a poor and insignificant family, as the lad desperately hides his family’s wheat harvest from the marauding Midianites: “The LORD is with you, you mighty warrior!” (Jgs 6:12). Gideon then receives his commission to save Israel from the hand of its enemy and to be a judge over the 12 tribes.
