the fall musical. Those young men admitted to the Class
of 2022 are invited again to spend a day with us in the
company of a current freshman. On February 7, we will
host our Admitted Student Night, a celebratory event for
all those admitted to the Class of 2022. We will welcome
our new families to the Prep and invite them to meet with
our faculty, staff, students and parents, while also having
a little fun! All of this leads up to Registration Day for the
Class of 2022 on March 7.
We plan these events because the most effective tool we
have in recruiting new students and families is by far the
Fordham Prep community itself. When prospective
families have an opportunity to speak directly to our
teachers, students, parents and alumni, they always leave
impressed. Certainly, our facilities, co-curricular activities,

Fordham Prep Class of 2022 will have been sent out. The
Admissions Office works all year towards this singular

busy, it is for us “the most wonderful time of the year.” I
speak for both Mr. Punter ’07 and myself when I say that
it is truly an honor to help the next generation of young
men find their way to Rose Hill.
Our goal is to help prospective students and their families
engage with as many members of the Prep community as
possible. This fall, more than 1,500 visitors, including over
580 prospective students, attended our open house. Over
400 young men availed themselves of our Ram for a Day
the Prep, the most popular answer given is “the
community.” This underscores the notion that each
time on campus at football games, soccer matches and
member of the Fordham Prep community is an
admissions officer.
Thank you to all our alumni, faculty, staff, students and
parents who h ave helped us during the current
admissions season.
Hail to the Fordham Prep Class of 2022!
