Villanova Preparatory School Alumni

They are back!

We are excited to welcome Career Day speaker Brian McKinney '00 to Villanova Preparatory School!

Join us as we hear about his incredible journey from the field of finance to psychiatric medicine. His story is one of exploration, growth, and finding purpose in a new direction, and we know our students will be inspired by his experiences.

We look forward to a meaningful and engaging conversation!

We share with sadness the news of Anne Weber's passing on March 23, 2026.

Anne was a cherished member of the Villanova community, teaching English and Creative Writing in the early 1970s. During her time at Villanova, she inspired students through her love of literature, storytelling, and the written word.

We are grateful for the impact she made on our school and the many lives she touched. We keep her family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

May she rest in peace.
