This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice and courage will never be forgotten.
With gratitude and remembrance,
The Kellenberg Alumni Family 🇺🇸
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.
If you have any questions regarding Kellenberg Memorial’s alumni network or events, please feel free to reach out to Director of Alumni Mr. Thomas Huggard at (516) 292-0200 x375 or by emailing alumni@kellenberg.org.
