Exactly 36 years after their days at Convent High School, the graduates of the Class of 1989 are leaving a meaningful legacy as dedicated alumni giving back to the institution that shaped their lives. Established in November 2023, the alumni group stated that it continues to expand, driven by a common goal to support CHS students and the school community.
They also said in their statement that their inaugural major contribution in 2024 saw a donation of $5,000 to help cover graduation costs and to establish the Class of 1989 Humanitarian and Community Award. The award honors students dedicated to service and community involvement.
This year, alumni representatives shared that they returned to their alma mater dressed in their former school uniforms to pledge an additional $2,500 for graduation prizes. These funds will support two significant honors: the Class of 1989 Humanitarian & Community Service Award and the Award for Perseverance, Self-Development, and Conduct.
Each awardee will receive up to $1,000, with an extra $500 designated for the school’s Honors Awards program.
My wife also attended Convent High School (St. Rita House) not long ago! Excellent initiative for an excellent institution!
