Class of 1976 Sorting Ceremony and Cougar Cup Underway | |
Gross Catholic is gearing up to celebrate the Class of 1976’s 50-year reunion and the many festivities surrounding this incredible milestone!
On April 1, we invite all 1976 graduates and our fellow Golden Graduate alumni to join the student body for Cougar Cup and a special House Sorting Ceremony! This Cougar Family tradition is one we would love for you to experience alongside our students.
The celebration will continue the weekend of July 24th, when the Class of 1976 plans to gather on campus. Alumni can look forward to a school tour and time together in the Commons to reconnect, share a meal, enjoy beverages, and relive memories filled with laughter.
