	Hoya Profile: Kevin Hoover, '02
	Kevin is the Executive Director of GP Sports Camps and Summer Programs at Prep. He can be often found in the Hanley Center for Athletic Excellence. 1. What were some of the important lessons you learned while you were a student at Prep? The importance of friendship and community was certainly the most valuable piece of my experience at Prep. Ultimately, on my visit to Prep in 8th grade, that is what sold me on the fact that Prep was the place I wanted to be. My closest friends today still remain Prep classmates.

	Alumni Notes:
