Alumni Home Page
Introduction
Greetings from the Office of Alumni Activities. This section of our website contains information about alumni events and organizations. Additional items about the school and the alumni can be found in the current issue of The Quadrangle.
If you are a Central Catholic graduate who has not been receiving mail from the school or have recently moved, please update your information via this form or email your current address to jfolino@pittcentralcatholic.org to ensure that the alumni database is updated and accurate. We want you to know about the good things continually happening at Central, and we want to hear news about you.
Consider being your class’s Representative. We know you’re busy, so the responsibilities are few. Just pass on to us information you acquire about a classmate’s change of residence, need for prayers, etc., and, when your reunion year is approaching, persuade a few of your buddies to help plan the events.
The Christian Brothers remember you in prayer every day. Please keep us in yours.
