Summer 2009 - St. Vincent-St. Mary High School

Come Home For
Homecoming
“More Than a
Game” to Premiere
Second annual event celebrates the STVM tradition of family
We are so very blessed to have such a rich heritage as well as many impressive
traditions that continue to this day. Did you know? We have had over 100 years of
graduating Seniors that have been welcomed into our alumni family. The first senior class
to graduate was the St. Mary Class of 1901!
That rich heritage and the subsequent wonderful traditions lead us to review the
graduation statistics that are based on our combined histories:
q St. Mary High School’s first graduating class dates back to 1901 and in 75 years of
operation, St. Mary High School graduated 4,351 students.
q St. Vincent High School’s first graduating class dates back to 1910 and in 65 years of
operation, St. Vincent High School graduated 6,626 students.
q St. Vincent-St. Mary High School’s first graduating class dates back to 1973 and in 37
years of operation, STVM has graduated 6,138 students.
Come Home for Homecoming is a wonderful time for alumni, family & friends to
celebrate our connection to STVM because of the High School that we attended! Please
RSVP by September 15, 2009.
Be sure to visit the Photo Galley in the Alumni portion of the www.stvm.com website

“More than a Game” is a movie that looks
at the friendships and subsequent career
successes of the five STVM basketball
players: LeBron James, Dru Joyce III, Sian
Cotton, Romeo Travis, and Willie McGee.
Dru Joyce, Head Coach of the STVM
Boys Basketball team, provides the film’s
opening with a moving and emotion
provoking speech exploring the concepts
of destiny, fate and circumstance.
LeBron James VM03 and one of his
business partners, Maverick Carter VM00,
produced the film.
Representatives from STVM traveled to
Washington, D.C. for a private viewing of
LeBron’s film, “More Than a Game.”
