Happy Thanksgiving - President's Message

Alumni and Friends - we have had a very busy fall here at Bonner & Prendie. Fall sports have finished up, the first show of the year, "Newsies"- drew great crowds, scholarship testing, college applications, and much more are in full swing.

There were also many great alumni events over the past few weeks - reunions, Hall of Fame, and other get-togethers among our community. You can find out more in my letter here , and take a look in the newsletter below to catch up on all things Bonner and Prendie.
Monsignor Bonner Hall of Fame

Once again the spirit of the Monsignor Bonner alumni was in full force at the Hall of Fame dinner and gala in October. This year featured a fantastic class of inductees and a record setting crowd of over 700 alumni, friends, and family.


Many thanks to all of our sponsors, volunteers, and committee members who helped make the night happen. Be on the lookout for future Bonner Hall of Fame notices to nominate someone for the 2020 Bonner Hall of Fame, and for details about next years Prendie Hall of Fame (October 2019).
