Alum of the Month
Jay Moore’s journey from Holy Family School to DePaul University has been one of growth, discovery, and resilience. After graduating from Holy Family in 2019, Jay went on to attend La Lumiere, a boarding school in Indiana. His next stop was DePaul University, where he has been thriving for the past two years, studying cybersecurity.
During Jay’s first year at DePaul, he discovered a passion for cybersecurity. Participating in a hackathon
opened his eyes to the world of digital security and protection. Since then, he has immersed himself in learning

about phishing emails, spam calls, and other scams, working alongside fellow students in a club dedicated to teaching each other new skills and staying ahead of hackers. In the future, Jay dreams of using his talents to serve the public, with hopes of working for the government, either at the federal or state level.
Looking back on his time at Holy Family School, Jay reflects on the people and experiences that shaped him. One of his fondest memories is chapel with Pastor Hunter. He also remembers Ms. Lamb, his favorite teacher, who played a pivotal role in helping him find his voice. “She taught me to speak up for myself. It still helps me to this day,” Jay shares.
Though he faced academic challenges in elementary school, Jay’s perseverance and the support of the Holy Family community helped him overcome those hurdles. Today, he appreciates the strong connections the school continues to foster with its alumni.
“I appreciate Holy Family a lot. I appreciate how they connect with us and keep in touch with us."
