This March, the Delbarton Alumni Association once again journeyed south for its annual Sunshine State Tour, gathering alumni, parents, and friends across Florida for connection, community, and celebration. Guided by Fr. Michael Tidd, OSB, alumni from near and far joined together in Naples, Jupiter, and Vero Beach. These annual receptions are a testament to the enduring strength of the Delbarton brotherhood and community at large.

The first stop was in Naples, where alumni gathered to kick off the tour with warm fellowship and spirited conversation.

From there, the Green Wave rolled on to Jupiter, welcoming even more members of our extended community for an engaging evening of updates and camaraderie.

Ending the Sunshine State tour in Vero Beach at John’s Island, where attendees enjoyed a beautiful afternoon luncheon overlooking the water, and wrapped up an unforgettable week.

At each reception, Fr. Michael Tidd, OSB, shared exciting updates on the state of the school, including Delbarton's record-breaking admissions numbers and continued growth in applications and enrollments. He also highlights the Class of 2026’s college admissions choices, with students headed to many of the top universities in the country this fall. Fr. Michael also mentioned the progress on major campus initiatives, including the Science Pavilion renovations, the new addition of the Alumni Career Center, and active planning for the new Student Life Center.

Alumni enjoyed catching up with old classmates, sharing memories, and strengthening the bonds that define the Delbarton experience. Whether reminiscing about life on campus or looking ahead to the bright future of the school, these gatherings showcased the unique spirit and lifelong connections that make the Delbarton community so special.

Thank you to all who joined us on this year’s Sunshine State Tour, we are already looking forward to seeing you again in 2027!
