Alumni Association Board Directory
The Alumni Association Board of Directors was created in 1990 by Sr. Philip Neri Crawford. In the early years, the Board ran the Annual Fund. Now the Association Board organizes activities that bring alumni together for fun and camaraderie, and they hold fund raisers to sponsor the two Alumni Association Scholarships that enable more families to send their children to Routt Catholic High School.
To learn more about the Association Board, contact the Development Office.
