“Students at CM appreciate knowing that I am more than just a teacher. In class, I allow for occasional moments of conversation about life. This way they have a model of another adult doing his best to be a husband, father, coach, and man of faith, and I learn from them about what it is like to be a teenager in these times of rapid change.”
Mr. Gabe Verdaguer
World Languages Department Chair
Mr. Verdaguer was born in Patagonia, Argentina and moved to the United States when he was 9 years old. He appreciates and embraces many aspects of American culture and at the same time maintains the customs, values, and traditions of his native country. He teaches Spanish II, Spanish III, and Spanish III Honors. He coordinates a language and cultural immersion student exchange program with Colegio Mulhacén, an all-boys Catholic school in Granada, Spain.
In addition to teaching, Mr. Verdaguer coaches the middle school soccer team and the outdoor track and field team. He serves as moderator of the Knights of the Round Table, the school’s multicultural club.
CM prepares students for the rigors of college and beyond. While here, boys embark on service-learning opportunities, leadership development, and character formation programs inspiring them to become confident, courageous young men motivated to do good in the world.
Catholic Memorial, the Christian Brothers School of Boston, prepares boys for college, manhood and a world full of unknown challenges, ambiguity and complex problems and the importance of relationships.
