Saint Paul's School

You know this, right? 👀 💙

One of the best signs that a place has made an impact is seeing the people it helped shape choose to come back.

For these alumni, Saint Paul’s became more than a school. It became a community and a tradition they believed in enough to return to, this time as teachers, coaches, mentors, and colleagues, giving back to the place that gave so much to them.

Today, our faculty includes alumni from across the decades: Mark Richards ’72, Trevor Watkins ’79, Monty Fontenot ’84, Mick Nunez ’88, Kevin Moore ’91, Al Nastasi ’91, Shawn Mullet ’92, Kristian Gibbe ’00, Jeff Drivon ’01, Ryan Spencer ’01, Andrew Dart ’03, Jay Faucheux ’04, Whitney Brown ’05, Barrett Baumgartner ’06, Josh Gast ’08, Nick Guarisco ’08, Jeff Ramon ’08, Matt Fleming ’09, Eric Orphys ’09, Josh Pereira ’09, Gabe Emerson ’12, Marc Robertson ’12, Cameron Cole ’16, Oliver Sibley ’17, Callan Danenhower ’20, and Elias Simpson ’20.

Their return is a beautiful part of what makes Saint Paul’s what it is. They are helping carry forward the same brotherhood, faith, and sense of service that shaped them, while making sure there is something meaningful here for the young men who come next.

We don’t just remember our traditions, we choose to continue them.

The Class of 2031 officially entered the Brotherhood this morning at our first Principal’s Assembly, welcomed by the enthusiastic applause of their older brothers.

We sang, prayed, and celebrated the return to campus. And our faculty renewed their commitment to forming young men in the Lasallian tradition, educating the whole person and calling each of us to live for others.

Then, as only the Saint Paul's Marching Wolves can, the drum line sent us out with the traditional fight song.

Welcome back!

Like we never left.

We 💙💛 our CORE Pack!

We’re excited to welcome so many new families to our beautiful Saint Paul’s campus!

Tonight, our newest wolves got their first glimpse of the culture, faith, and brotherhood that await them, while their parents had a chance to learn more about the Saint Paul’s experience, ask questions, and (hopefully!) feel a little more prepared for that first week.

Our school administration and advancement teams were on hand to welcome families, share what to expect, and help make sure no one feels lost as we begin this new chapter together.

We’re humbled and grateful to begin the year with so many eager families. Welcome to Saint Paul’s!

And a special thanks to our friends at Meribo for providing tonight’s delicious food!

Twenty-five years after graduation, the Class of 2001 returned to campus for a sip-and-stroll to reminisce and catch up with their fellow Wolves.

The social hour in the dining hall eventually made way to the campus tour, which began with a reflection and prayer in Our Lady of Peace Chapel led by Rev. Mallery Callahan II ’01 of Greater Starlight Baptist Church. John Morvant, AFSC and Alumni Director Monty Fontenot ’84 welcomed classmates and their families back to campus before the tour, highlighting all that has grown and changed over the past quarter century. Other familiar faculty faces also made appearances, like Lee Pierre and Luke Barwick, who were fresh-faced new faculty waaaaaay back in 2001!

The buildings may look different, but the Brotherhood remains the same. No matter how many years have passed, Saint Paul’s will always be home. Welcome back, Wolves.
