Priory basketball is excited to share that Aniyah Augmon '21, Valentina Saric '22, and David Ajanakun-Makun '21 were all named to the Bay Area News Group's Fab 25! Congrats to these well-deserving athletes!

Our girls' basketball team is doing so well! Over the last few years, several talented players have advanced Priory from obscure-school status to formidable opponents in both the state finals and the Open Division. Our boys' team made it to the Open Division as well, and you can read all about it in yesterday's almanac article.

Go team!

Priory girls proud to be part of school basketball history Priory has never been at full strength this year and still managed to finish second to Pinewood in the West Bay Athletic League and win its Open Division debut.

A big thank you to everyone who came to Friday's reunion! Kumospace was a wonderful way for friends to get together and create a more fluid experience, and we all had a lot of fun :)

I'm delighted to announce that we have many more alumni events coming up throughout the year! We can't wait to see you all soon as we enter into a beautiful summer.

Last night's reunion was great! The last 10 years have taken our Panthers all over the world and in totally new directions. Life happens fast, but our alumni are making the most of it :)

Tomorrow's reunion is our last (for now)! Alumni will be joining us via kumospace to gather in a totally new way. If you haven't received the info already, reach out to the alumni office anytime.
Can't wait to see you all there!

Friday's reunion was really fun! Alumni joined us from across the country (and Korea!) and we got a behind-the-scenes glimpse of 2006 Priory. We met even more adorable children and learned a lot about some really cool life changes coming up.

And now we're at the last week of reunions! Wednesday's reunion is for the class of 2011. This class had some serious Priory spirit, and as the 51st graduating class, how could they not? The school was reaching new heights thanks it part to the Panthers of 2011. Looking forward to seeing you all Wed!

Friday's reunion was a true delight! Alumni joined us from all over the country to share their stories and catch up after many years apart. We even met some adorable children who got to learn about mom and dad's high school days :)

This week's reunion is for the class of 2006! By then, Priory was well on its way to being the school it is today, and the student body was the largest in Priory's history. New RSVPs are more than welcome! Feel free to sign up through the link below and we'll see you there!

Reunions like last night's don't come along very often. Over the course of nearly 4 hours, alumni from '81 and '86 caught up and connected in just about every way. Grads joined us from Japan, Taipei, Panama, Mexico, and all over the U.S. They are film makers, farmers, technicians, chefs, fathers, friends, and people with purpose. Let's not wait another 5 years!

Tomorrow we're all set for the classes of '91 and '96! It was during this time that Priory transitioned to a co-ed community and introduced Mr. Molak, whom many of you had the pleasure of knowing. This was a transformative decade for Priory and those it touched. Can't wait to see you all there!

What an amazing reunion we had on Friday! This time, alumni joined us from Tokyo, Patagonia, and all across the U.S. Over the years they've been entrepreneurs, world travelers, social justice advocates, professors, athletes, and parts of a barbershop quartet. Thanks everyone!

Wednesday's reunion is for the classes of the 1980s. These boys gave Fr. Martin his first taste of Priory spirit, and experience tells us that we're in for some great stories.

Last night's reunion went beautifully! Our boys from the 60s became attorneys, cowboys, entrepreneurs, film technicians, public servants, and family men. We were honored to discuss Priory's younger days (including that time they beat Stanford's soccer team!) as well as the impact of an unstable political environment on 1960s youths.

Tomorrow we celebrate the classes of 1971 and 1976! Among those in attendance will be our very own Dave Rogers, who has worked with us to provide custom wines for many years now. See you all soon!

May reunions are finally here! Tomorrow we begin by celebrating the milestone classes of 1961 and 1966. These boys were the founding students of a very young Priory, when weekends consisted of Saturday school, manual labor, and a well-deserved trip to the city.

All reunion dates can be viewed through the following link. We're looking forward to seeing you all over the coming weeks!

You guys! We've already received 80 RSVPs (and counting) for next month's reunions! We're excited to have alumni joining us from Mexico, Columbia, China, Japan, and across the U.S. While alumni are welcome to RSVP anytime until the date of their reunion, we encourage you to sign up by the end of the week so you can receive a reunion gift package in the mail.

We understand that many local alumni would prefer an in-person event. While May's reunions will be entirely virtual, we are planning on-campus events for Homecoming weekend in October as well as happy hours for alumni later in the summer.

In the meantime, signing up for a virtual get together will be a wonderful thing! It's free to attend, you get to see classmates living out of the state/country, and it'll be great to say "Hi" to your friends even if you do plan on seeing each other in person a few months down the line.

You can RSVP through the link below. If you have any questions about the registration process, please reach out to [email protected]. Can't wait to see you all there!

Today we remember Cesar Chavez and his legacy as a civil rights proponent. His grandsons Alejandro Chavez '95, Samuel Chavez '07, and Eduardo Chavez had a big impact on the community as Priory students, and have gone on to pursue professional golf, film making, and farm workers' rights. An article featuring Alejandro was released earlier this morning regarding his grandfather's legacy and voting rights.
