CENTURIONS DIRECTORY OMISSION

There was an inadvertent omission in the Centurions Directories that were printed. The Apex Class of 2021 was mislabeled as the Apex Class of 2022 and the Apex Class of 2022 was left out of the class listing in the directory. Their information is still in the alphabetical listing of all alumni. An insert with the Apex Class of 2022 will be included in the directories that have not yet been distributed. We apologize for the oversight.

Centurions Alumni Association members: If you did not receive your Alumni Directory at the Holiday Social, they will be distributed in the coming weeks. Be on the lookout for more information.
