Alumni Impact Class of 1960 Continues to Lead They say you don’t fully know your home until you leave it, and for many Girard College alumni from the ’50s and ’60s, it wasn’t until they went out in the world that they really grasped the impact of Stephen Girard’s legacy.

The values of hard work, responsibility, and discipline that made Girard so successful provided a roadmap for the school’s graduates to make the most of their lives and the lives of others. For the members of the Class of 1960, this map has continually led them back to the community that gave them so much. And while things may be a little different today than they were 60 years ago, the connection that this class feels for the school and each other is an enduring testament to Girard’s historic mission. When the time came to plan for their 60th Reunion, many in the class once again felt the pull to give back in honor of the man whose vision continues to shape the lives of students today. Building on their previous success with a 50th Reunion gift of more than $200,000 and a leading effort at the record-breaking annual gala in 2012, Five classrooms have been completely refurbished to support the high school curriculum.
