By Theresa Hieronymus ‘74

It’s always exciting when your school produces a star, whether it’s a classmate who becomes a politician or the basketball MVP who hits the big time. Being able to say, “I knew him/her when!” about a Notable Alumnus is a wonderful feeling.

A Notable Alumnus is someone who has graduated from a school and gone on to achieve remarkable, extraordinary, or distinguished accomplishments that garner the attention of others.



Stephen (Steve) Daleo, a member of the class of 1974, is the latest alumnus
