In Loving Memory of Coach Carlo Cherubino


It is with deep sadness we inform you our beloved coach and teacher Carlo Cherubino passed away Thursday evening. We gathered our school community together this morning to inform students, faculty, and staff of his passing and pray for him and his family.


"Carlo was a gifted educator and coach who inspired and nurtured our school community in countless ways," said Dr. Martin Kilbridge. "He embodied the high standards and sincere devotion to forming strong young women we hold dear at Holy Names. His spirit will live on in our hearts."


We will share information regarding arrangements as soon as they are available. At the request of Coach Cherubino's wife, The Carlo Cherubino Memorial Fund will be established to honor his years of dedicated service.
