Alumni Officers
The Alumni Association of St. Vincent High School is made up of more than just its Board of Directors. It's a vast community of alumni, parents, and students. Every person in our community is a vital member of our organization. Fundraising over $40,000 a year to support St. Vincent High School's athletic programs is an ongoing challenge and never gets any easier. The Alumni Association bears the responsibility of funding nearly all of the needs and expenses of our sports teams. The Alumni Association also makes a commitment to continue fostering a connection between members both old and new through annual fundraisers, social events, and our bi-annual newsletter. Tradition is at the heart of our organization. Keeping the traditions of St. Vincent High School alive and on-going is critical in our mission to support both our alma mater and our alumni. No one boasts their high school pride more than the members of our organization. If you would like to get involved with the Alumni Association, or if you would like to donate to our organization, please contact us.
