    Parents of current Gonzaga seniors are invited to College Counseling's "Letting Go" program.  The program will address the transitional issues that will arise over the next several months as your son prepares to depart for college. This meeting is especially helpful for parents who are going through this process for the first time (of course, all parents are welcome). The format of the evening will be a workshop designed to help foster the process of separation and letting go. We also hope the workshop will help to reduce anxiety and increase communication between you and your son.

    Athletic Hall of Fame

    Sheehy Theater & Arrupe Commons
    The Joe Kozik Athletic Hall of Fame highlights the central role athletic competition plays in the lives of our students and our school community—sportsmanship, teamwork, grit, and discipline are just some of the things that the young men of Eye Street learn and experience through sports.

    Every year, the Gonzaga Hall of Fame Selection Committee takes nominations from the school community and selects a new class of inductees, who are honored at a ceremony and reception on campus. Our goal is to celebrate those who have contributed significantly to the program's growth and spirit, and who continue to reflect Ignatian values such as integrity, perseverance, and humility.

    This year, we are thrilled to induct four individuals and three teams--all worthy athletes and coaches deserving of this honor. Congratulations to Gil Ascunce '93, Jeff Clay ’94, Ken McFarland '94, Raheem Walker '96, and Coach Bill Wilson as well as the members of the 1987 Track and Field team, the 2004-2005 Hockey team, and the 2002 football team.
