2023
ATHLETIC
DRAMA
Dear Cardinals,
You are the heart and soul of Spellman, providing a firm foundation for
today's Spellman students and families. The Cardinals Come Home Event
and Hall of Fame Evening, aims to recognize and celebrate all alumni, and
in a special way, select alumni who have achieved outstanding success in
countless ways and made a lasting impact in their community. Thank you
for answering the call to come home and be with your fellow Cardinals.
We are here tonight to honor those being inducted into the Hall of Fame
but also to celebrate YOU, our alumni community that is the foundation of
our school.
As we embraced the idea of re-imagining how we do things in school
amidst the pandemic of the past years, we have also answered the call to
re-imagine our traditional stand-alone Hall of Fame events for Athletics
and Drama. There is so much to celebrate. With that, we are excited
to introduce our inaugural “Cardinals Come Home Weekend.” These
signature events offer multiple opportunities for the Spellman community
to reconnect all while celebrating what it means to be a “Cardinal” and
call Spellman ”alma mater”.
I want to take this opportunity to thank our committees for both the
Athletic Hall of Fame and the Drama Hall of Fame. Each committee’s
members carefully vetted and considered countless deserving candidates
for induction this year.
A list of worthy candidates put forth through nominations will be inducted
tonight, while other qualified nominees will remain on the list for future
consideration and induction. Please note that our monthly alumni newsletter
includes a link to nominate candidates for the Hall of Fame. Nominees
typically are Spellman alumni who graduated at least ten years ago and
have demonstrated outstanding talent while at Spellman or beyond.
Talent and service may include athletics, performing arts, visual arts,
service, and academics.
Congratulations to tonight’s inductees and to each and every one of you
for coming home to celebrate what it means to be a Cardinal.
Sequere Deum,
Daniel J. Hodes, M.A., A.B.D.

DR. DENISE BAKER-INEGBENEBO, PHD
My journey with life thus far has been an
interesting ride of discovery. I was born and
raised in Brockton, the City of Champions.
After Spellman, I worked at Brockton Family
Planning to learn more about being a nurse
practitioner. I found myself moving more towards
helping women. I then changed my path and
journeyed to Talladega College, a historically
black college in Talladega, Alabama. From
Talladega, I went to Oahu, Hawaii, for 5 years. I
lived on Hickam Air Force Base with my husband
for his first assignment in the Air Force and
worked for the UPS.
After leaving Hawaii, my daughter Maryssa and
I returned to Brockton, where my mother and
family lived. I did not know that my mother
would get diagnosed with cancer and in hindsight,
I'm glad I came home. My first career job was
the Program Director of the Boys & Girls Club.
With a team, I was responsible for the day-to-day
programming for kids and teens.
Soon, I was recruited to the Dept. Of Children
and Families as a social worker. Working with
families and communities wasn't easy, but it was
a passion. I tend to be an invested stakeholder
instead of an activist. I currently work for the
State of Massachusetts in their IT Department,
which I enjoy.
Nowadays, I am still an invested stakeholder,
following my passion of inspiring and uplifting
people by encouraging them to visit The Wellness
Journey Studio-Metaphysics Wellness Center,
where I am a licensed massage therapist and
holistic health practitioner.

DANIEL HIGGINS
Before graduating from Spellman in 2010,
Higgins took full advantage of the Spellman
experience: student government, football,
baseball and, of course, the legendary theatre
department. Per Mr. McEwan & Mrs. Bassett's
influence and inspiration, Mr. Higgins was
afforded the opportunity to create lasting
memories that are permanently impressed into
his personal reminiscences of his high school
experience. Mr. Higgins is profoundly grateful to
them and all involved in making Spellman theatre,
"SPELLMAN THEATRE."
After graduating from Saint Anselm College, Mr.
Higgins returned to the hill to join the History
Department as a first-year teacher and to "help
out" the shows. Almost a decade later, Higgins is
still on the hill, now as Department Chairperson
and Producer of Productions. He is excited to
"help out" with his 7th Christmas Show and 10th
Musical this school year.
Mr. Higgins is blessed with the gift of a wonderful
wife, Erika, and 3-year-old son, Edward, who lets
daddy stay late at work six months out of the
year, so that he can do his best to play a role
in making (just as Mr. McEwan did) Spellman
theatre..."SPELLMAN THEATRE."
When asked, Mr. Higgins said,“I'm honored
to have worked with hundreds of talented
student-thespians and student-crews over
the years. I'm thankful for the opportunity to
celebrate their theatrical accomplishments.”
