LOOK WHAT WE'VE DONE !

      $100,000.00 +
       ENDOWMENT
              FUND

The Class of 1965 has reached a milestone !
We now have more than $100-thousand dollars on deposit with the St. Aug administration to
provide scholarships for future generations of
Purple Knights.  These scholarships will be
awarded in perpetuity continuing long after the
passing of our entire class.  We take great pride in this accomplishment----something few if any other individual alumni class has ever achieved. And these funds were accumulated while continuing to award scholarships every year.

 

OUR CLASS OF 1965 COMMITTEE AND ALL

Classmate Furnell Chatman was recently awarded the 2025 Legacy Award by the New Orleans Association of Black Journalists.  He
made history as the first African American hired by any TV news
station in New Orleans, then became the first Black to anchor his own newscast in Louisiana.  But his path was not easy.
