Dear Cardinal Hayes Community,

Whether you are a current student, a proud alumnus, a dedicated parent, or a friend of the school, I am thrilled to welcome you to a community that has shaped the leaders of tomorrow for nearly a century.

This year holds an incredibly special place in our history as we proudly celebrate the 85th Anniversary of Cardinal Hayes High School. For eighty-five years, this landmark institution has stood tall on the Grand Concourse, serving as a pillar of strength, excellence, and faith in the Bronx.

As a lifelong Bronxite, my connection to this borough and its people runs deep. I know firsthand the challenges our families face, and more importantly, I understand the value of the quality Catholic education that Cardinal Hayes provides for the young men of the Bronx and its surrounding areas. It is an education that doesn’t just teach—it transforms.

At Hayes, Christ is centered in all that we do. Within our highly structured environment, we focus on developing the whole young man. We instill a deep sense of self-discipline and offer a stellar academic education that challenges our students to reach their highest potential. Beyond the classroom, our young men grow through enriching clubs and programs, compete in amazing athletic traditions, and forge a bond of brotherhood that truly lasts a lifetime.

I am profoundly humbled and proud to serve as the 11th principal in our school’s rich history. Cardinal Hayes is more than just a school; it is a landmark institution of the Bronx and a beacon of hope, opportunity, and faith for all who walk through our doors.

As we look back on 85 years of excellence and look forward to a bright future, I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our programs, and join us in our mission to inspire the next generation of Hayesmen.

Up Hayes And All Its Loyal Men! 

Sincerely, 

Steven M. Iuso

Principal
