Our goal is to help students realize that their talents and gifts<br />
are to be developed not for themselves but for the good <strong>of</strong> the<br />
local and global community. <strong>Prep</strong> students can be found in over<br />
35 service sites across the city <strong>of</strong> <strong>Omaha</strong> during any given week,<br />
tutoring students, visiting assisted living homes and working in<br />
after school programs. <strong>The</strong>y also work in recreational programs<br />
for people with disabilities and feed the homeless. Yet, their<br />
efforts are not limited to <strong>Omaha</strong>. <strong>Prep</strong> students also provide<br />
food beyond the city limits to the Winnebago and <strong>Omaha</strong><br />
reservations, construct homes with Habitat for Humanity and<br />
engage in service efforts in the Dominican Republic, Central<br />
Mexico and the Rosebud Reservation. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Jesuit</strong> tradition<br />
ensures our young men are “Men for Others.”<br />
Why did you choose <strong>Prep</strong>?<br />

I chose <strong>Prep</strong> because it was the best high school in the<br />
state. I really liked it after I shadowed and met a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
teachers. Also, my brother went to <strong>Prep</strong>. He was a<br />
nice guide for me.<br />
When did it click for you that <strong>Prep</strong> was the right place?<br />
It really clicked for me at Freshman Retreat. I made a lot<br />
<strong>of</strong> new friends and it was a nice bonding time for the<br />
whole freshman class.<br />
Any personal encounters that made an impact?<br />
I was on the Freshman A basketball team and we went<br />
undefeated. <strong>The</strong>re were 12 guys on the team and it was<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the defining moments for me here at <strong>Prep</strong>.<br />
