St. Sebastian’s Honors Alumni Duces Society Donors

St. Sebastian’s welcomed alumni back to campus for the inaugural Duces Society Homecoming Reception on Saturday, September 28. This event celebrates the tremendous generosity of our Alumni Leadership donors in support of the St. Sebastian’s mission. There are over 260 members of the Duces Society, with nearly 50 of them in attendance for the reception. “Duces” is the Latin word for “Leaders.”

Head of School Brendan Sullivan took to the podium to thank these gentlemen for being leaders in the alumni ranks and the importance of their lifelong commitment to St. Sebastian’s. Reminding alumni that 33% of today’s Arrows receive need-based financial aid, Mr. Sullivan expressed his gratitude for the ability to attract the best, most mission fit students to St. Sebastian’s regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. From Nonantum Hill to Greendale Avenue, our alumni have been engaged with their alma mater and have played significant roles in the success of the School. Brendan highlighted Jack Birmingham ’59, Tom Swan ’62, and Brad Griffith ’58 for their impact on Board of Trustees’ earliest days and recognized current alumni Trustees in attendance, David Calabro’78, Rob Wallace ’89, Mike Maguire ’91, and Paul D’Attanasio ’96.

Before heading off to the Homecoming games, alumni received their St. Sebastian’s Duces hats to wear proudly on campus and beyond.
