Vintage Verot Diamond Jubilee

The celebration of 60 years has given a great opportunity to reflect on how far we have come and look forward to our future, and this year’s Gala was no exception. Guests were encouraged to dress the theme, Vintage Verot, and they did not disappoint!

The event was held on Saturday, March 11 in the Nevins Gymnasium, the perfect place to reminisce over our rich Viking history. Banners and name plates cover the walls, touting decades of individual records, district and regional team titles, and a fair share of State Championships. A nostalgia table showed off old yearbooks, athletic guides, jerseys and uniforms, and the very first Black and Gold Alumni Magazine.

The evening began with Bishop Dewane thanking all those in attendance for their support of Catholic education and Bishop Verot Catholic High School and leading the prayer of thanksgiving. Mrs. O’Grady thanked the committee for their hard work and dedication to this year’s event and introduced the newest member of our Verot family, Mr. Jordan Harmon. Jordan, along with his wife Regan, are happy to make the move to Florida, as he settles in as the new Director of Development. This year’s Alumnus of the Year, Josh Vogelbach ’04, was also announced, with Mrs. O’Grady presenting him with the award.

Our own Coach Matt Herting, basketball coach, teacher, mentor, and bleeder of black and gold, was joined by alum Noelle Casagrande ’02 as the masters of ceremony. Their passion for Verot showed strong as they led the crowd in record bidding for the Live Auction.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thank you to all those who made the evening such a success. It is always humbling to see so many members of our Verot family sharing their passion for Catholic education and Bishop Verot Catholic High School with their time, talents, and treasure!
