Test About

St. Mary's Alumni

Lifelong friendships; steadfast support for fellow Saints in joyous times and in moments of sorrow; happy reunions and cherished memories of their years at St. Mary’s. This is what makes the St. Mary’s experience special and why so many St. Mary’s alumni send their own children to the school.

The St. Mary’s Alumni Association fosters friendly relationships among graduates of the school and promotes their spiritual, mental and moral well-being. The association keeps the school’s influence alive, advances its interests, perpetuates its traditions and provides moral and financial support.

St. Mary’s alumni are devoted to the school and take part in many activities. At every turn, you will find alumni helping out at fundraisers, being guest speakers for classes, or assisting other Saints with career choices, internships or college selections. Alumni return for many activities, including Alumni Weekend for the Distinguished Alumni Awards Ceremony, class and group reunions, annual Black Friday Lacrosse game and Career Day!

Alumni Induction Day, an annual event held in the spring, is an opportunity for the high school seniors to be formally welcomed into the St. Mary’s Alumni Association. Seniors begin the day with a breakfast hosted by the St. Mary’s Alumni Association to celebrate the seniors’ transition into the newest generation of alumni.

At St. Mary’s, alumni view their high school graduation not as an end, but as a continuation of the close community spirit they cherish. Whether you go to St. Mary’s for thirteen years or four years, the spirit of St. Mary’s endures forever.
