The history of the Benedictine Military School Alumni Association can be traced as far back as 1902 when the first class of Benedictine graduated and created the fraternity that we proudly call BC. The loyalty and pride of the Benedictine Alumni base is unwavering and simply cannot be matched.  Through the years, the organizational format of the Alumni Association has varied. During the time from 1902 to 2002, the “Alumni Association” was an informal group of men that served as the stewards of the BC voice. In 2002 under the guidance of then Director of Alumni Relations Greg Markiton ’92, the current Alumni Association was formed. During the years prior to the 2002 forming, many alumni gave countless hours to structuring the organization, drafting the By-Laws, and funding the initial years. Dennis Rooks ’60, Marc Friday ’78 and Henry Hall ’55 were instrumental in the development of the first Board of Directors.
