Alumni
Alumni play an ongoing role in the life of the school by contributing their experience and understanding of school values to sustain our excellence for current students and future generations.
They provide mentorship to students, offer their expertise to guide student activities and projects, and share their knowledge in forums, surveys, and discussions. Their contributions to the world beyond Catlin Gabel are an ongoing source of pride for our community, and we celebrate their accomplishments in many ways including the annual presentation of our Distinguished Alumni Awards during Alumni Weekend.
