Memorial Court Rededication Ceremony on Thursday


The McDonogh School community, alumni, and guests will gather on Thursday, May 21 at 10:30 a.m. for the rededication of Memorial Court and our annual Memorial Day service. The sacred space, originally dedicated in 1964 to honor McDonogh alumni who lost their lives in World Wars I and II, has recently been enhanced to include the names of alumni who died in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The service will closely mirror the original dedication ceremony and incorporate the traditional Memorial Day elements.

Learn more about the history of Memorial Court and the rededication in this video created by Bridget Collins '90, Director of Religious Studies, Character, and Service. Additionally, throughout the day, students will have an opportunity to visit a display of memorabilia from World War I through the Korean War collected by Butch Maisel '72.
