This past weekend, we were honored to welcome back an incredible group of KMHS alumni at the Science Olympiad Regional Competition at Kellenberg. Watching former competitors return to the very event that helped shape their futures is what it’s all about! @kellenberg
Thank you to:
✨ Polly Taylor ’18
✨ Caroline Barrick ’14
✨ Dr. James Lasker ’10
✨ Dr. Christel Remy Kuck ’16
✨ Claire Greco ( DeMarco) ’18
✨ Thomas Greco ’17
Many of these alumni went on to pursue careers and advanced studies in science-related fields after participating in Science Olympiad as students and now they’re back inspiring the next generation.
From competitors to mentors. From students to scientists. 💡🔬
We are so proud of you and grateful for the example you continue to set for our Firebirds.

A night that truly reflected the spirit of the Firebird Family 💛💙
The 12th Annual Kellenberg Memorial Food & Wine Expo welcomed 850 guests and 48 amazing restaurants, breweries, vendors, and performers for an evening rooted in community, generosity, and purpose!
We were especially proud to highlight alumni-owned and alumni-led businesses:
Bright Eye Brewery (Luke Heneghan ’09),
Capo Ristorante (Paul Capoziello ’91),
Oyster Boys Oyster Company (Caitlin Kennedy Hulse ’12),
Nick’s Pizza RVC (Tara Agozzino ’93)
plus live music 🎶 by Christelle Pascal ’19.
Thanks to our incredible partners, every dollar raised benefited the Denise Miles Scholarship Fund. Her vision helped make possible the Firebird Center itself, the very space that hosted this unforgettable evening. 💛💙
Grateful to our vendors, volunteers, students, parents, alumni, and guests who made this unforgettable night possible. ❤️🔥🍷

When you graduate from Kellenberg Memorial, you become part of an expansive alumni network of over 14,000 Firebirds across the globe who are united in their shared experience of the Marianist education of the heart and mind. Our graduates go on to become leaders in finance, law, medicine, technology, education, civil service, and engineering. Many Firebird alumni choose lives of service to others by entering into religious life or becoming members of the armed forces, police departments, and fire departments.
In 2014, Kellenberg Memorial established its first official Alumni Board, the mission of which is to provide opportunities for Firebird alums to maintain contact with each other and the school, as well as inspire the larger alumni family to work together to ensure that Kellenberg Memorial’s quality Catholic education remains attainable to families of diverse economic backgrounds.
