We hope you've had a great start to the new year!

We've been busy connecting with our alumni in the past several weeks, with two major events in January. Our Spartan Alumni Panel was held on January 6: thank you to Emery E. Carlson '22, Adam Wiborg '22, J.T. McCormick '24, and Caelynn Kohut '21 for sharing about your college experience with our students. On January 11, we had our Hall of Honor Reception - the full recap of this outstanding event is below!

Today, we gathered for our first All-School Liturgy of 2025 and celebrated our faculty and staff who have reached milestone anniversaries. Take a close look at the picture below and see if you recognize any familiar faces - including a couple alumni!

This year's milestone anniversaries include: Danielle Costello, Ron Darin, Tim Martens (5 years); Mary McCarthy, Jillian O’Connor, Beth Erazmus '89 Wiborg (10 years); James Quinn and Lisa Ston (15 years); Michael Page (20 years); and Kate Michel '92 Kowalski and Jay Olaszek '91 (25 years). Not all could be present for our photo this morning, but we celebrate them just the same!
