"The individual is sacred in education. A student attains the goal only when he sees truth with his own eyes.
As long as he views truth through the lenses of instructors, textbooks, writers and other interpreters, he is not educated...
All in the school must stimulate individual students to self-activity in this exciting quest." - Fr. Robert Mackey, S.M.

"I learned that Father Mackey was a very humble man and really care for the marginalized population. He is truly a servant leader."
"Father Mackey is one of the most caring, selfless, and innovated individuals that I've ever had a chance to learn about during my time here at Chaminade."
Yukioʻs story of his life and Marianist values
"I learned so much. But since you asked for one thing, I would say the history of Chaminade and how large the property originally was. Along with learning the school was once for only boys, I also learned about Father Mackey's characteristics and loved that he was open minded, understanding, and humble. He took on many roles at Chaminade not just as a president, but jobs that you would never expect him to do. When I say jobs- I mean service learning jobs. He seemed like an amazing role model."
"Father Mackey was strong, but gentle, patient and kind. He would always put others before himself and was a pillar of integrity to which I aspire to emulate."
"I loved learning about my new surroundings and Campus history. As well as getting to visit former Father Mackey's grave and a nature walk around the school. This really stuck with me and I will remember this experience growing up."
