Dear Spellman Community, “Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning.” Winston Churchill uttered these words when facing the last truly global threat to mankind, World War II. In fact, over the last few months I have heard World War II referenced more than I would have liked to, in contrast to the pandemic we are weathering. I noticed it first in reference to the Olympics, when news commentators covered the cancellation of the summer games they made mention that the last time the games were cancelled was during WWII. Next, I heard it referenced when discussing the cancellation of The Open Championship, golf ’s oldest contest! There have been quite a few once in a lifetime losses during this global pandemic, but throughout it, we have found something as well, our collective courage! People in all walks of life have stepped up to face the challenge of our lifetime. Front line workers, and first responders have led the charge against this viral foe, but also, teachers, administrators, moms, dads, and our students here at Cardinal Spellman have been battlefield commissioned into this fight for which no one had been prepared. Months ago we began preparing for re-entering Cardinal Spellman in the midst of this fight, we collaborated with teams of experts in government, education and the medical field. We spent countless hours working through our protocols for re-entering school, and mapping out one-way hallways in order to Re-engage Re-imagine Re-discover ensure that our students could return to school safely. The Re-Engage. Re-Imagine. Re-Discover Plan was the fruit of that labor and laid out a course for a full in-person re-entry of Cardinal Spellman High School. Finally, on September 8th, we opened the doors to Cardinal Spellman once again! The students and teachers bravely fought back for the opportunity to enter these halls again and dispel the darkness of a worldwide Five day in-person learning at Cardinal Spellman amidst a pandemic tragedy with the light of education! This fall, we began a new school year prepared for in-person learning with almost 500 It has been a privilege to steward Cardinal Spellman through this crisis, because it has afforded me the opportunity to see so many profiles of fortitude, the theme of this year’s Tradition Magazine. The fortitude of students enrolled in grades 9-12. We recognize the challenges we’ve faced in a year like our administrators who took on the onerous task of re-imagining the process of educating our students. The no other and a time that is not yet behind us. However, we face this in true Cardinal fortitude of our faculty who bravely faced the prospect of becoming frontline workers in a vocation where form; with a grateful heart for all that we have accomplished. We propel forward with they never imagined that would be part of the job description. The fortitude of our parents who worked with unwavering faith as we re-discover high school life at Cardinal Spellman. our teachers as true partners in learning, taking on the challenges of remote education on the home front, and working with the school to maintain safety protocols. Lastly, the fortitude of our students who have had to re-discover what school is each day! Remaining flexible, excited and engaged, they are a portrait of this new generation of courage, embodying all that the Spellman spirit stands for, all that you, the alumni, as their progenitors have demonstrated through decades of self-sacrifice and perseverance. These profiles in fortitude only echo the history of courage demonstrated by so many Spellman Alumni, faculty, and parents, past and present. It is a daily reminder of the lasting legacy of this institution on the South Shore of Boston and beyond. As we begin the celebration of the birth of our savior this holiday season, and on behalf of our Board of Trustees and the faculty and staff of Cardinal Spellman High School, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours, and as always know that we are Spellman because YOU are Spellman! Pax et Bonum,

Daniel J. Hodes, M.A., A.B.D. President

Dear Members of the Spellman Community, Sometimes, something concrete and physical symbolizes for beyond the obvious. The opening of our field symbolizes the commitment of so many to our past as well to our future. It is the step forward. Private education today is a very competitive endeavor. Like in all competitive situations, we must provide clear value to our students and their parents. Only by perfecting that value proposition 2019-2020 Annual Report will an institution grow and thrive. We live in a new age of uncertainty. The events of this year alone, the COVID global pandemic, the calls for social justice and the high drama around this election, year brings the significance of that uncertainty into focus. However the preparation that builds on a strong foundation emphasizing development of body, mind and spirit will be that value proposition that allows our students to thrive in this uncertain time. We prepare our students for more than college; we prepare them for life. The character developed by a Catholic education is the touchstone for that value building. The “Backstop" of Cardinal Spellman has been passed. The dedication and commitment of the Sisters of Saint Joseph must always be remembered and honored. We will always be appreciative and grateful to their legacy. That legacy has been passed onto us; the current and future alumni. Our commitment to that “backstop" will determine our school’s future. Now it’s our turn.

Dear Alumni and Friends, “Consider yourself at home, consider yourself part of the family”. These are lyrics I sang from the musical “Oliver” in my first show as a senior at Spellman in 1986. It was true, I found a home away from home. I was already fortunate to be a Spellman student, but joining the theatre arts program changed everything. I became part of something bigger than myself, where I learned the importance of collaboration and the value each person brings to the team. The lessons I gained in that short time from Mr. McEwan are ones I have carried since. I am not the only one with this story, there are thousands of us over the decades that have benefited from Spellman’s commitment to the arts through its exceptional music and theatre programs. It is with this spirit of community and family that we honor our theatre alumni and friends through induction into the Cardinal Spellman Drama Hall of Fame. The Drama Hall of Fame honors those who have made outstanding contributions to the history of theatre at Spellman. The Hall of Fame provides an opportunity to honor contributors, while also inspiring current students to achieve excellence in theatre. Before we call for nominations for our next induction, we first seek volunteers to join the Drama Hall of Fame committee. This committee will review guidelines for the nomination and selection process, consider candidates, and attend the induction ceremony each year. Whether you are alumni, past inductee or friend of Spellman theatre, I encourage you to join! To learn more about serving on Spellman's Drama Hall of Fame Committee, please contact Matt Andrews at mattandrews1931@ gmail.com. While we have yet to set a date for our next Drama Hall of Fame, we encourage you to submit nominations at www.Spellman.com/DramaHallOfFame Break a leg! Matt Andrews ‘86 Chair, Drama Hall of Fame Committee 52 Cardinal Spellman • Tradition
