95 Years of Knights Gathering
St. Mel High School shaped young men through faith-based values, academic excellence, and a brotherhood that has endured well beyond graduation. This spring marks the 95th consecutive year that Knights have gathered to celebrate that legacy — and we want you at the table.
Whether you walked the halls decades ago or more recently, this afternoon is yours — to reconnect with classmates, honor the educators and mentors who shaped your path, and support the mission that continues the proud tradition of St. Mel.

Mingle over a generous spread of Maggiano's signature appetizers as more classmates arrive throughout the hour.
