Alumni Association
The
newly created Bishop Byrne Alumni Association provides
opportunity and purpose for former students to come together
socially and in support of their alma mater. Alumni are an
important resource to the school, modeling success for
todays students, providing leaders and volunteers for many
school activities, supporting the school financially,
maintaining meaningful relationships, and sharing fun and
friendships. Alums from our first graduating class in 1966
through recent graduates have reconnected with their school
and each other, sharing memories of common beginnings and
building a future for those that will follow. Today we
benefit from the involvement of alumni in a number of ways,
including those serving on our Board of Directors (Board of
Limited Jurisdiction), joining school committees, helping
with athletics and sporting events, lending professional
services, and returning as guest speakers for career days
and school assemblies.
The
Bishop Byrne Alumni Association will be working toward
several goals and hosting a number of activities in the
coming year. The first being the 1st Annual
Circle of Distinction Award Reception. This annual award
will honor former Bishop Byrne grads who have distinguished
themselves in fields of business, religion, education,
athletics, community service, or philanthropy. This years
award will be presented to Archbishop Peter Sartain, Class
of 70, recently appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to serve the
Archdiocese of Seattle. See details under
Alumni Activities and Events.
There
is a place for you in the Alumni Association, serving on our
Association Board, helping to plan events, providing
financial support, or just reconnecting with friends. Were
just getting started, so were looking for leadership and
people who like to make things happen. We hope you will
join us!
