Centenary Kickoff Celebration: Recap Video
Thank you to all who joined us on September 24 to help mark our 100th birthday! The day was blessed with beautiful weather, reunions, and celebrations. There were many remarkable and memorable moments, from the opening Alumni breakfast to the Homecoming game against Mount Douglas and the grand finale of the spectacular fireworks rising over Lannon Hall and the figure of Christ the King.
