Speech Excerpt from Valedictorian George Townley

“Being a Cadet is your truck breaking down on Cadet Way directly in front of the school, and having three of your brothers in their dress uniforms lying on the pavement under your truck, with another under the hood, doing all they can to get you home for the day.

"Being a Cadet is the sound of bagpipes as you and 300 of your brothers sit in reverence, remembering the life of one of their own. Truly, being a Cadet at Benedictine College Preparatory has been one of the best experiences of my life, and I could not be more proud to call each of you my brothers.”
