The St. Joes tradition of leadership continues as another one of our own reaches an incredible milestone. Congratulations to Kevin Wells '96 on his promotion to Sergeant with the Fairfield Police Department! Kevin's commitment to leadership, service, and protecting the Fairfield community reflects the values we strive to instill in every Cadet. We are honored to celebrate this achievement and grateful for his continued dedication to making a difference.
This moment is made even more special by the lifelong friendships that began in the halls at St. Joes. Kevin celebrated alongside fellow alumni Bryan Wells '94, Dave Johnson '96, and Pete Koval '97. Although not pictured, Karen Knapp '97 was also there to celebrate the occasion. It's a wonderful reminder that while our alumni go on to serve their communities in remarkable ways, the bonds they build as Cadets often last a lifetime. Congratulations, Sergeant Wells!
