Attention St. Paul Lutheran School Panthers!

So many of our Alumni have some wonderful stories of being at St. Paul Lutheran School. We would like to show our Panther Pride and keep the memories flowing so we are looking to reconnect for future events and to profile and highlight St. Paul Lutheran School Alumni. We need your help with updating our alumni database. We are asking that you please send us an email with your Name, Address, Phone Number, Years You Attended the School and alittle bit about yourself, such as high school attended, career path and current information. If you have any old school photos or photos from reunion events, we would love to see them. Any contact information you may have for other Alumni would be appreciated. Feel free to let other alumni know that we are looking to reconnect. Please send information to marketing coordinator, angela.moore@stpauldorchester.com. Thank you!
