Remember Your Past to Build Their Future

2022 (1972 Golden Diploma)

It was a busy, fun-filled weekend! It started with hosting the class of 1972 back on campus for lunch and a tour, followed by a fun Friday tailgate, Saturday’s family bar-be-que, football game, social, reunion dinner, and a lovely Sunday mass.  It was great to see so many Marauders back on campus in October. Your J-high home is open for your to visit anytime — not just reunion weekend, so we hope to see you back here soon!
