On May 23, the Marist School Alumni Association hosted its annual Alumni Awards Luncheon at Cherokee Town Club, honoring three alumni for their exceptional service to the community and dedication to Marist School. This year's event recognized Omari L. Hardwick ’92 with the Distinguished Alumni Award, Grace Starling ’12 with the Father Hartnett Service Award, and Spencer L. Mitchell ’09 with the Outstanding Young Alumni Award.
The Marist School community recently enjoyed a series of excellent spring fine arts showcases highlighting the remarkable God-given talents of Marist students. These events, ranging from theater and visual arts to band and choral performances, underscored the significance of the arts in a Marist education.
Principal Kevin Mullally set the tone for the Marist School commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 25, by emphasizing the role of memories in shaping beliefs and providing a solid educational foundation. He highlighted notable memories that the graduating Class of 2024 may cherish from their time at Marist, including 10,348 hours in service to others, 963 books checked out from the library, 192 unique courses taken, and five athletic state championships in their final academic year. He said, “Graduates, let your memories of Marist—of the good work you have done here, of the good work you have done for others while here, all of which we acknowledge and honor and lift up this morning—be a reminder to you of the very best within you. Of all you are capable of and of who you are called by God to be as your formation in the image of his son continues throughout your lives. Let these memories preserve and sustain you in the very good and sometimes difficult times to come. May they be a reminder to you of just how much all of us here care for you and want the very best for you. Just be sure to come back and tell us all about what you do from here.”
Marist School's Reunion Weekend, held from April 26-29, was a memorable event filled with a variety of activities—including a special Class of 1964 Reunion, a Black Alumni mixer, an on-campus reunion party, band room blessing and dedication, Family Mass, and golf tournament—all designed to bring alumni together and honor the school's rich history.
Marist School has named 10 alumni to be inducted into its Blue & Gold Athletics Circle, established in 2003 to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to Marist School Athletics. Additionally, two individuals will receive the Blue & Gold Athletics Service Award.
