Upon his appointment , Day remarked , “ As an Ignatian educator who began his career at Fordham Prep , I am excited to return to a place that ignited my passion for teaching . I have been fortunate enough to maintain relationships with those I either taught or worked alongside . I ’ m eager to renew those relationships and dedicate time toward getting to know my new colleagues as well as our students , alumni , families , and benefactors .
I have known Anthony since my own days in the president ’ s office at the Prep . I have followed his career in Jesuit secondary education closely . He has distinguished himself both as a teacher and administrator at Regis and Loyola Blakefield . Fordham Prep is blessed to have this great Ignatian leader as its first full-time lay president .”

“ Because it centers itself on faith , service , and intellectual inquiry , a Catholic , Jesuit education remains the most powerful educa tional journey one can experience . I look forward to being part of the transformational mission of Fordham Prep as we collaborate in ways that enhance student life , foster community engagement , and chart a course for an exciting and prosperous future .
“ I ’ m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and would like to express my gratitude to all those who were part of the search process , including trustees , faculty and staff , alumni , families , students , and benefactors .”
