Mr. Joseph Cabigas was honored with the 2024 Theodore James Ryken Award for his outstanding contributions to both the academic and spiritual development of his students. This prestigious award was named after the founder of the Xaverian Brothers, Theodore James Ryken. It recognizes teachers who embody the values of faith, service, and excellence. Mr. Cabigas’ dedication to teaching the hearts and minds of his students has made a lasting impact on the school community. The award serves as a testament to his unwavering and inspirational commitment to education.
Some remarks from his students:
“Mr. Cabigas is my advisor so I got to know him pretty well over these past years. He is always full of energy and very energetic. I can’t think of anyone who would deserve this opportunity more and I am very happy for him.”
“He’s really really nice and funny and he always calls us “gang”. I don’t think there’s anyone else I would rather have as a community teacher.”
“Mr. Cabigas is one of the best there is! He really is a fun and animated teacher.”
Thank you to all the faculty and staff for your dedication to the service of our school and for shaping the hearts and minds of the student body year after year.
