Alumni Homecoming:
Saturday, October 19, 2024
'Celebrate Marvelwood's Spirit & Service'
Homecoming is a time to revisit relationships and common bonds formed during your time at Marvelwood! You’re invited to connect with faculty, friends and students while reliving the hands-on community service experience. In addition, space has been reserved at the parish hall in Cornwall, and an alumni cocktail hour will follow our naming ceremony to honor Ray Ronshaugen at the Sundt House.
Raydon P. Ronshaugen was a Marvelwood faculty member from 1967-1982. He was an English Teacher, Director of Studies, Dean of Faculty, Associate Headmaster, Director of Alumni Affairs, and instrumental in building our community service program, still embedded into our curriculum today.
Contact the alumni office to get involved!

“The School has advanced in many ways for which Mr. Ronshaugen has been responsible. We express our collective appreciation for his devotion, his support and diplomatic direction of our programs, and his tireless efforts on behalf of our school. We hope that Marvelwood School will continue to be blessed by the support of loyal teachers and administrators such as Raydon P. Ronshaugen.” ~ Founding Headmaster Robert A. Bodkin, 1976
