Summer Reading 2010-2011
One Book,
One School
One Book, One School is a school-wide
community project at Holy Cross High School that promotes a common
literacy. The One Book, One School summer reading selection
for 2010-2011 is The Last Lecture by Randy
Pausch. Randy Pausch was a professor of computer science
and the father of three small children when he learned that
he had cancer. He decided to give his last lecture not only
for his students but also as a legacy for his family. In
this book, he tried to talk about the importance of living
rather than the sadness of dying. Many people find his
lectures inspirational. Pausch writes about everything from
trying to achieve childhood dreams to how to be willing to
embrace life, from painting the quadratic equation on his
childhood bedroom wall to getting an autographed photo from
his childhood hero, William Shatner from Star Trek. We invite the entire
community to read the book. You can
purchase the summer reading book online by clicking the
