Forever Lions

Alongside our graduating class of 2024, we are honored to share the stories of six retiring Lions and their legacies. Together, having collectively given nearly 150 years of service to Bellarmine, they live the Bellarmine mission each and every day. They inspire, lead, and serve, and we are thankful for their commitment to Jesuit education. Bellarmine is proud to provide this opportunity to honor their dedication as Lions by allocating all gifts to their chosen funds (see list below). If you have any questions, or wish to make a stock transfer gift, please contact Megan Babbitt at babbittm@bellarmineprep.org

I had a 35 year career in information technology, and after teaching for a little while, I discovered there is not a more noble profession than shaping young minds."
