Jesuit High School of New Orleans

Goodbye, Old Friend…

This week’s Throwback Thursday segment honors a dedicated Blue Jay graduate who recently passed away on June 30, 2017. The photo shows current English teacher Mal Villarrubia, Jr. ’66 and Glenn Gennaro ’66 at their 45-year reunion back in June of 2011. Being members of the Class of 1966 is not the only thing these two have in common, for they also share the fact that they have both worked as administrators at Jesuit High School. Mr. Villarrubia is Jesuit’s director of professional development (as well as an English teacher), while Gennaro was director of admissions and counseling for five of the six years he served here at Carrollton and Banks (1985-1991). Gennaro worked for seven other schools during his 43 years in education. Earlier this week, he was the subject of a featured article in the Clarion Herald titled “The Man Who Would Give You The Clothes Off His Back.” In loving memory of Glenn Gennaro, the Jesuit High School community adds this photo to our archives. Goodbye, old friend. Your memory will never be forgotten.
