ALUMNI HAPPENINGS

Alumni Roundup

The Central Catholic Alumni Association hosted its 20th annual Alumni Roundup on Friday, May 4. The inclement weather didn’t deter more than 200 alumni and friends from attending the annual event that was moved inside to the CCHS Gymnasium. Alumni were represented well with members from the classes of 1945 and 1946 to the class of 2016. Attendees braved the weather to reconnect with fellow classmates while sharing stories over great food from Tacos N Salsa.

Thank you to the Alumni Association who hosted the evening, led by committee chair, Royce Sample ’83. Special thanks to Silver Eagle Distributors for donating beverages and to event sponsors Ricos Products, The Law Office of David Dilley, and Integrity Roofing & Siding.

We hope the reconnection between Central and its alumni is gratifying, and we encourage all our alumni to STAY IN CONTACT. Thank you to everyone who attended Roundup this year a great time was had by all! To view photos fromthe 2018 Alumni Roundup, CLICKHERE.
