Dear Cougar Family,

We’re thrilled to bring you our Monthly Cougar Connection!

Each month, we’ll be sharing the latest updates, stories, and highlights from across our Cougar community. Our goal is to provide a publication designed especially for our Alumni and Friends of Gross Catholic! This monthly newsletter will help keep everyone in our community informed and connected. You’ll also be able to find each issue on our website for easy reference.

Thank you for being such an important part of our Cougar Family.

We can’t wait to share what’s next and love your feedback!

With Cougar Pride,

College and Career Day

We were so proud to welcome so many alumni back to Gross Catholic for our annual College and Career Day event for juniors and seniors!

Our alumni and outstanding members of the community generously took time out of their day to speak with students about the transition to college and to share valuable insights into various career paths.

We’re grateful for their continued support and for inspiring our students to dream big and embrace the future with confidence.

Once a Cougar, always a Cougar! 💙🧡

Do you own a business? Do you work at a business? Are you looking to grow your customer base? Last year, we started the Alumni Business Directory as a way to support our fellow Cougars with the services and products we need every day. Our alumni built the strong foundation of Gross Catholic and this is an opportunity to expand that foundation throughout the community.

*The Alumni Business Directory is on our website and is available to all members of the Cougar community and anyone that visits our site.
