Private School Values Matter
Caleb Williams, former student at the Catholic Gonzaga College High School in Washington, DC, was awarded college football’s prestigious Heisman Trophy in December. Williams had an outstanding season as quarterback for the University of Southern California.
As he accepted the award, Williams said the “Gonzaga experience both on and off the field helped to prepare me in more ways than you can imagine.”
He thanked his high school coach saying, “Coach, you may not know this, but the Gonzaga mantra that you drilled into us, ‘men for others,’ has helped inspire me to create the Caleb Cares Foundation, which is all about giving back, so thank you coach, thank you Gonzaga.”

One anonymous Midwestern student has already admitted to using the bot to cheat on homework multiple times, despite the bot only being recently released.
