Fall 2012 - Cardinal Spellman High School

Cardinal Spellman Grand March
Grand March has been a tradition at Cardinal Spellman High School for many
years. It was originally created so the Sisters of Saint Joseph, who taught at the
school, could see the students before they went to their prom. Even though the
Sisters of Saint Joseph no longer live on campus, the custom still continues. Grand
March is an event that truly accentuates the pageantry of a high school prom.
