2026 St. George
Alumni Gathering
ONCE A
DRAGON,
ALWAYS A
DRAGON.
This year’s alumni gathering brought
together graduates from the Classes of
1946 through 1971, a remarkable
representation of the enduring Dragon spirit
across generations. While each alumnus
carries his own unique memories of
classrooms, athletics, friendships, and life
on Sherman Avenue, one thing remains
constant: brotherhood. The bonds formed
at St. George continue to unite alumni
decades later through shared values,
lasting friendships, and the influence of
the Christian Brothers. No matter the
class year, the spirit of St. George lives
on whenever Dragons gather.
