“I know you can do<\/em> better, and if you do, you can be<\/em> better.”<\/p>\n

This simple yet powerful advice, delivered by a trusted mentor at just the right moment, was a profound expression of faith in a young boy’s potential \u2014 setting him on a path that would change his life. During our recent Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, as we celebrated Dave Coratti P\u201908\u2019s induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame, alumnus Chukky Okobi \u201996 shared how these words from Mr. Coratti helped him find direction at a pivotal moment in his life. It was a moment that helped shift 13-year-old Chukky\u2019s trajectory, leading him to the NFL and a Super Bowl victory with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006. More importantly, it instilled in Chukky a lifelong lesson: “I can do better, and if I do, I will be better.”<\/p>\n

These impactful moments are woven into the very fabric of Trinity-Pawling School. Each day on campus is filled with small yet powerful interactions, discoveries, and breakthroughs that collectively shape our students’ futures. Throughout Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, alumni reflected on these pivotal moments that set them on the path to becoming the men they are today.<\/p>\n
