(KAIR)--Atchison's Maur Hill-Mount Academy, in advance of the approaching, annual League of St. Maur Gala, has announced its selection for 2025 Alumni of the Year.
Recognized for the honor is Bernadette and her late husband, Jerry, Urban, a couple whose connection to the private Catholic high school goes back decades.
According to a release from the school, the Atchison couple were high school sweethearts whose "story began at Sacred Heart Grade School and continued through decades of devotion—to each other, their family, and MH-MA," adding that "from cheering on grandkids at games...to organizing fundraisers, installing stadium lights, and making famous sausages for the Bob Goalby Golf Classic—they gave generously of their time and hearts."
The release, which says, "together, they embodied what it means to live out faith in action, adds that
Bernadette served for more than 40-years at Maur Hill-Mount Academy, while Jerry "never stopped crediting the school for the man he became."
The school will celebrate what it calls the Urban's "inspiring legacy" at the League of St. Maur Gala set for Saturday, September 20 at the Loews Hotel, in Kansas City.
