Prospective Students & Families Attend Open House

img_7547On Thursday, November 10, 2016, Brother Martin hosted our annual Open House for prospective students and families. Over 500 students attended this wonderful and informational night.  Crusaders were filled with great excitement and spirit showcasing their school to visitors. Guests entered through the Thomas F. and Elaine P. Ridgley Fine Arts & Athletic Center before heading into the James B. Branton Chapel. Inside the Branton Chapel, families were welcomed by President John Devlin,  Asst. Principal Ryan Gallagher ‘00,  and Mia Corrente,  mother of graduate Scott Corrente ‘15.  Current students  Joseph Aguda ‘18 and Nicholas Locascio ’21 were also present speaking about their ‘Crimson and Gold Life’ on Elysian Fields Avenue.

Later, tour guides were paired with families introducing the young men and their families to all the incredible amenities of campus life. Tour guides also explained the history of the school and answered questions from visitors on academics, alumni, athletics, spirituality, etc.  Students also experienced the variety of academic curriculums, extracurricular programs, and interactive activities.

Thank you to all of our students, parents, alumni, and faculty who helped make this night a success!
