After surviving cancer, Max Haensel ’14 returned to Hood to Coast with Ravenscroft friends, turning a student tradition into a powerful legacy of support, resilience and fundraising.

The space — a gift from Mike and Helen Norona — supports holistic efforts to help Ravens prioritize wellness amid their busy lives.

In addition to the curriculum, which is aligned with Ravenscroft’s broader mission and places an emphasis on lifelong habits of health and wellness, the department’s work is grounded in Lead From Here.

Underscoring its commitment to gender-equitable experiences in athletics, Ravenscroft marked National Girls and Women in Sports Day and the positive impact of sports on female students.
