Hawk Happenings
Christmas Concert
Form I & II students filled the Abbey with festive music during their Christmas concert. Congratulations to the boys on a beautiful performance!
Faculty Party
Faculty and staff gathered for good food, laughter, and great company. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas together.
Coffee House
Coffee House brought the Christmas spirit to life as high school students took the stage to perform for their classmates and guests. With cozy Christmas pajamas, steaming hot chocolate (a few burnt tongues included), and plenty of talent, the evening was a wonderful celebration of music, laughter, and holiday cheer. Thank you to all the performers for making it a night to remember!
“Basilicakes” projects
In middle school, our students begin their language journey with Latin. By high school, they study either Spanish or French. To connect their language studies with theology, freshmen select a basilica from a Spanish or French-speaking country and create an artistic representation of it.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Bach’s Lunch
Every Wednesday, students at Cistercian sign up to showcase their musical talents during Bach’s Lunch—a lunchtime performance series hosted in Founders Hall.

Form III Field Study
Form III had the privilege of touring the Dallas Holocaust Museum. The boys demonstrated exceptional respect, curiosity, and thoughtfulness, readily answering docent questions and asking meaningful ones of their own.
