I want to personally thank all of the volunteers who helped to make our Centennial year celebration a success. Special thanks to Carol Mitchell Lawrence ’84, Rich Eby ’59, and Nichelle Bolden ’84 and their committees who staged the Centennial Gala Weekend events. More than 1,060 alumni and guests attended our Gala Dinner and After Party, 600 attended our Alumni basketball game, 60 participated in the golf outing, and 160 joined the Sunday Brunch and Tour. Proceeds from these events funded the Major McNeil scholarships, the Withrow School of Business, and Withrow’s athletic department. Alumni from every class between 1944 and 2019 participated in the events; for many, this was their first alumni event. The Centennial certainly raised Withrow’s profile in the community!

Graduation good news. 85% of Withrow’s Senior Class graduated this May and received over $4.7 million in scholarship money. A special congratulations to Salutatorian Isaiah Houston and Valedictorian Kristian Young.  Read the introductions of Isaiah Houston and Kristian Young during the graduation ceremony.

We are now half way through Withrow’s exciting and historic Centennial Year and more is being planned. There’s been a renewed interest in Withrow History and Alumni. Bob Linnenberg ‘63, Christy McTigue Backley ‘66, Dave Blocksom ‘68, Dennis Goens ‘69 and others have done a lot of research over the last year to put together two interesting documents. First is a listing of 100 years of Withrow facts. The second is a listing of Notable Withrow Alumni.

Alma Mater

Gentle slopes and lofty tower radiant in the sun,
Arching bridge and shaded valley all our hearts are won.
Withrow’s beauty, Withrow’s splendor fill our hearts with pride,
Love for you our Alma Mater ever will abide.

Friendships made in search of knowledge cherished bonds and true,
Memories of golden hours hold us close to you.
As we venture from your portals aims held ever high,
We’ll look back to glimpse once more the tower ‘gainst the sky.
