Academics<br />

Graduation 2011 provided the perfect portrait<br />

of Bishop Hendricken’s pledge to best educate<br />

every boy who enters our doors. The Class<br />

of 2011’s top four students by academic rank<br />

all finished their careers ready to enroll at Ivy<br />

League schools in the fall. Phillip Murray received<br />

a minutes-long standing ovation after becoming<br />

the first graduate of the Hendricken Options<br />

Program, a four-year-old endeavor, and the<br />

only of its kind in the Northeast, to provide a<br />

Catholic secondary education for students with<br />

intellectual disabilities. “All graduations are special,<br />

but the 2011 graduation was spectacular,” said<br />

BHHS principal Jay Brennan, ’72. “All of our<br />

students continue to be beacons of hope for the<br />

future.” Annual fund dollars help fuel those<br />

beacons by providing classroom technology, and<br />

professional development for faculty. They also<br />

support our Edmund Rice Scholars, who take an<br />

accelerated math and science track over their<br />

four years.
