Redwing Alumni
Welcome!
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the Benet Academy Alumni page. Whether you graduated in 1963 or 2023, you are an important piece of the Benet Academy story. I hope you have many fond memories of the teachers who informed your education, the coaches and directors who celebrated your talents, and the friends who shaped your Benet experience. These are the traditions that have propelled Benet forward throughout its 135-year history as a Catholic, College Prep institution, in the Benedictine Tradition. Our goal is to keep you better connected with each other and our beloved alma mater. Please know, you are always welcome and encouraged to return to campus for our alumni gatherings, athletic competitions, performances, and tours! If you would like any information on upcoming events, please reach out to me.
It’s always a great day to be a Redwing!
