On Thursday, November 2, 2023, we were pleased to host our annual Brother Martin Open House for over 500 5th through 8th-grade future Crusaders and their families.
The evening began with guests being greeted warmly by our Crusader family as they entered the Thomas F. and Elaine P. Ridgley Fine Arts & Athletic Center. They then equipped themselves with their Brother Martin personalized name tags as they walked through the Brother Mark Thornton Terrace. Then, our guests strolled through the backyard as the Brother Martin drumline entertained them on their route to the James B. Branton Chapel, where Caden Catanzaro '25 spoke about his own Brother Martin experience to kick off the exciting evening. After a moving prayer, Principal Ryan Gallagher ’00 and President Gregory Rando '77 spoke of the mission statement of Brother Martin High School and shared the philosophy of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart which is rooted in a holistic approach to education that is enriched in Religious Values, Friendly Discipline, Academic Excellence, and Personal Attention, all in pursuit of Forming the Young Men in our care For Life.
Guests were then escorted from the Branton Chapel where Assistant Principal for Admissions Carlos Bogran III ’99 helped to pair them with their personal Crusader tour guide. One-on-one tours were provided by current Brother Martin students who showcased our state-of-the-art facilities, future facilities and shared important information about our school’s history, academic course offerings and schedule, extracurricular opportunities, athletics interests, and a host of other topics.
We would like to offer a special thanks to Mr. Carlos Bogran III '99, Assistant Principal for Admissions, for spearheading these Open House efforts. Thank you as well to all of our guests, students, parents, alumni, and faculty for making our Open House the tremendous success it was!
