Change is on the horizon for Hannan's baseball program as the school prepares for a transition in leadership. Christopher Garrett, who has been an integral part of the Hawks' coaching staff since 2022, will be stepping down at the conclusion of the 2025 season due to personal reasons. This decision comes after careful consideration and discussions with his family. Garrett expressed that while he cherishes his time at Hannan, his primary focus must now shift to supporting his loved ones.

The impact of Garrett's dedication extends beyond the baseball diamond. His commitment to his players and his family exemplifies the core values cherished by Hannan. Athletic Director Michael Perniciaro highlighted Garrett's embodiment of faith, family, and excellence. "Coach Garrett has been a remarkable influence on our community," Perniciaro remarked. "While we will miss his presence on the field, we fully support his decision and appreciate his ongoing involvement at Hannan in another capacity." The search for a new coach will prioritize someone who can not only elevate the program but also align with Hannan's principles.

Hannan remains committed to upholding its foundational values. Head of School Denis Schexnaydre emphasized the importance of these principles in guiding the community forward. "Chris Garrett's decision reflects the values we hold dear—charity, faith, family, integrity, and excellence," Schexnaydre noted. "We are confident that the future of our baseball program will continue to thrive as we seek a successor who will build upon the strong foundation laid by Coach Garrett." This transition marks a period of reflection and growth for the Hannan community, reinforcing the belief that family and personal well-being come first.
