Our Girard College "Marathon" Journey
​

We travel the Main Road through time - we transformed ourselves from a young naive child to a disciplined, educated and independent man !
Girard College's education both "Academically and "Vocationally"  - coupled with strict discipline - has prepared us
to meet and
overcome any obstacle 
that may confront us when 
it was time for us to  live in the real world!

The 
Girard College "Marathon"

Our young lives at Girard
began at the West-end of the campus!

As we grew older we traveled East on the 

"Main Road" 
to live in different buildings!
 
The first transition was from the West-End buildings 
 to Junior School! Thereafter, as we grew older,
we were moved into other buildings --
Good Friends, Middle School, Lafayette, Banker Hall, Merchant Hall, Mariner Hall, Bordeaux Hall and at the end of our "Marathon" journey - to Allen Hall! 

It will take us years to reach Allen Hall ...
the distant "Finish" line of the
challenging 
Girard College "Marathon"

We have finally reached Allen Hall! - We have met the requirements that were  mandated by
Stephen Girard and his "Girard College"!

We have successfully completed many years of  
"Academic and Vocational"
training!  
 
 By doing so we have earned ourselves a 
Girard College "Diploma"
It would be given to us on graduation day! 
 
The education program of
Stephen Girard's "Girard College"  
has been recognized and acclaimed by people of
all faiths and countries throughout the world!

With a "Girard College Diploma" in hand - 
we become one of  24 thousands of Girard College students who
have met the mandates that Stephen Girard has outlined in his Will for the operation of his school!


All of us self-reliant, independent, confident and proud sons of
Stephen Girard!

Note: We graduates warmly refer to Stephen Girard's "Girard College"
as the "HUM" (our home)  - and  we proudly identify
ourselves as being "HUMMERS" -
the true graduates of ....

Stephen Girard's "GIRARD COLLEGE"

It must be mentioned that regardless of 
the year that we "Hummers" graduated from Girard College ... 

we share a lifetime brotherhood to one another!
A strong  brotherly bond
like no other
 school's graduate or
educational institutions can
possibly imagine!


We - "HUM" brothers - are the proud sons of 
STEPHEN GIRARD!
