SHP Breaks Ground on Digital Classroom and Entranceway Renovation

Fr. Bogumil Misiuk ’08, Assistant to The President, welcomed the group on the front lawn adjacent to Northfield Avenue and blessed the site, sprinkling the soil with Holy Water. Headmaster Michael G. Gallo ’79 reflected on the project’s importance and advancement in facilities throughout his tenure including moving to this current campus in 1985 from Seton Hall University, updating the Dining Hall, Science Wing, Library, and Kelly Athletic Complex.

President Msgr. Michael E. Kelly ’57 added words of gratitude and excitement for this next phase of development at The Prep, which also includes a brand-new Health & Wellness Center at the Kelly Athletic Complex slated to start later this year.

 

Members of the Board of Trustees then joined Msgr. Kelly and Michael Gallo to dig into the soil and break ground. The Neary, Bergwall, and Kijanka families – whose generosity helped bring this project from a dream to reality – then stepped up to do the same. The groundbreaking concluded with engineers, architects, SHP supporters, and faculty also donning hard hats and shovels to commemorate this momentous project as well.

 

The morning concluded with a gathering in the Library which was renovated and completed in 2021.
