NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR MARIAN ALUMNI TO CONNECT, LEAD, AND GIVE BACK

At Marian Catholic High School, the relationships built during a student’s time at Marian do not have to end at graduation. Our alumni community represents a tremendous network of experience, knowledge, and tradition, and we are exploring new ways to bring that community together while creating meaningful opportunities for alumni to give back.

​

As part of our continued efforts to strengthen alumni engagement, Marian is currently exploring three new initiatives designed to connect alumni with one another and with our current students: an Alumni Mentor Program, Alumni Career Connections Day, and a Marian Alumni Board.

​

These initiatives are currently in the early planning stages, but each is intended to create meaningful opportunities for alumni involvement while providing valuable experiences for today’s Colts and Fillies.

​

ALUMNI MENTOR PROGRAM

The proposed Marian Alumni Mentor Program would connect current students with Marian alumni who have experience in career fields, industries, and areas of interest that students are considering for their own futures.

​

Alumni mentors would have the opportunity to share their personal experiences, offer guidance, answer questions, and provide students with insight into what it is like to pursue a particular career path.

​

For students, the program would provide an opportunity to connect with someone who has already walked the road they are beginning to consider. For alumni, it would be a chance to share the lessons they have learned throughout their careers and help guide the next generation of Colts and Fillies.

​

ALUMNI CAREER CONNECTIONS DAY

The proposed Alumni Career Connections Day would give current sophomores and juniors the opportunity to hear directly from Marian alumni working in a variety of professional fields.

​

As students begin thinking more seriously about college, careers, and their futures, hearing from someone who has actually experienced that journey can provide perspective that cannot always be found in a classroom.

​

Alumni participants would share their career journeys, discuss what their day-to-day work looks like, talk about the steps they took to reach their current positions, and answer questions from students interested in their fields.

​

The goal is not simply to introduce students to careers, but to help them better understand the possibilities ahead of them and make more informed decisions about their futures.

​

MARIAN ALUMNI BOARD

Marian is also exploring the formation of a Marian Alumni Board, a volunteer leadership group that would help strengthen connections throughout the Marian alumni community and provide insight into the future of alumni engagement.

​

The Alumni Board could assist with initiatives such as class reunions, alumni gatherings, professional networking, regional events, mentorship opportunities, service projects, and other programs designed to bring alumni together.

​

Most importantly, the board would provide alumni with a voice in helping shape the future of Marian's alumni community. It would bring together graduates from Marian Catholic and its predecessor schools, also including Cardinal Brennan and Bishop Hafey High Schools, who are interested in staying involved and helping build meaningful opportunities for fellow alumni and future generations.

​

BUILDING THE FUTURE TOGETHER

These initiatives are more than individual events or programs. They are part of a larger effort to create a stronger, more connected Marian community. One where alumni can continue to share their experiences, support one another, and make a difference in the lives of current students.

​

Whether through mentorship, career guidance, leadership, reunions, networking, or simply sharing your story, there are many ways for alumni to remain an important part of Marian long after graduation.

​

We are currently gathering interest and feedback from alumni as we continue developing these opportunities. As plans take shape, additional information will be shared about how alumni can participate.

​

Come Back. Give Back. Shape the Next Generation of Colts and Fillies.
