The Legends Field project salutes nine legendary coaches of Notre Dame High School/College Prep (read more...). They include:
"Teaching is a call from God .... Teachers are life models for young people.”
These were the words of Blessed Father Basil Moreau C.S.C. who was beatified by order of Pope Benedict XVI in 2007. As the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1857, the religious order from which this Notre Dame high school was founded, he emphasized the role of the teacher in the quality of the schooling of young men.
These Notre Dame College Prep Legends were and are true educators according to the vision set forth by Father Moreau. Their teaching was rooted in faith. Notre Dame, Our Lady, was their patroness and guide. As teachers and coaches they all possessed a passion for excellence that they successfully instilled in the students they served.
As such, these great men served as life models for the Dons, the Gentlemen of Mary, of Notre Dame College Prep. We are a better school and better people for having been touched by their presence.
