Greetings! 
 

As winter winds down (hopefully) and spring approaches, I want to express my gratitude to our alumni whose involvement in the Gross Catholic community during this school year. You have helped continue our mission of developing Christian leaders through educational excellence in the Marianist tradition. In the first year as the Alumni & Communications Director, I am constantly reminded of the strength of the Cougar Family through our students and alumni. Our students have achieved so much in the 2012-2013 athletically and academically. Visit our website to keep up-to-date on all the latest Cougar news.

 

You can show your support in many ways throughout the year. Share news of your achievements, support the Alumni Legacy Scholarship Fund, attend your reunion or simply connect with other Gross Catholic graduates.

 

Your commitment to Gross Catholic will help lay the foundation for the future and set the stage for an emerging group of alumni volunteers and donors!  Have a great spring and please stay in touch!

 

Dux Esto,
