“Six years ago, when I became Headmaster, my vision was that Glendale Prep would be a place where students are known and loved,” said Kyle Navarrette. “With each year, I am blessed to lead our wonderful faculty and staff and to see my favorite students in Arizona. My heart remains steadfast on this goal. When we started our House system, there was a goal that Seniors and 6th graders…Juniors and 8th graders…students across our student body would come to know one another and share time together. It is essential to take time out from the normal school day to be together.”

To all Great Hearts Parents of a High School Senior, You have hopefully had a few discussions about college or next steps with your senior. We’ve had several of these conversations at our house, as well. They always took place in passing, whether it was my daughter daydreaming out loud about where she wants to go, my wife and I asking her how much it’s going to cost, or me inadvertently nagging her about finishing her applications. For the record, I call it consulting. Nagging was her word to describe it. These impromptu meetings have taken place in the car while stuck in traffic, while I am paying bills, or any other “adulting” pastime that puts me in a less than great mood to begin with. Sometimes these discussions don’t even involve her at all and end with me saying to my wife, “How are we going to get through this?”

Others were encouraged with the sense that they are not in this alone, but a part of the bigger picture of classical educators in the Valley.
