THE LEGACY DINNER

The Legacy Dinner is Saint John's Preparatory School's annual celebration of its founding on November 10, 1857. Five Prep School-age students were the first to be enrolled in the new Benedictine school on the western banks of the Mississippi River just south of what would later become St. Cloud.

Today, Saint John's Preparatory School celebrates its 154th year of inspiring students to great achievements and self-understanding by involving them in a premiere liberal arts curriculum focused on Academic Rigor and Spiritual Growth within a Benedictine Environment.

The Legacy Dinner celebrates and thanks our supporters and honors those who have made a special impact on the life of the school.

This year's Armor of Light Award was awarded to Brian '68 and Deb Thurginger, Madden's Resort who annually host the Prep Classic Golf Tournament. We will also be awarding the Lumen Gentium Award to +Mathew Ahmann '49, Catholic Civil Rights Activist.
